| Abstract |
The pursuit of economic growth and technological progress has vastly improved the standard of living, but has at the same time affected ecosystems worldwide, threatening the quality of life. The escalation of environmental challenges such as global warming has urged people to find solutions to reverse this trend, leading to the emergence of green practices and calls for environmental awareness at the international level. Academic circles have developed the notion of circular economy, an approach which focuses on environmental protection, resource recovery, and waste reuse, through the reduction and prevention of pollution, control of pollutants at the source, and adoption of environmental legislation and conventions. Along these lines, artists from the cultural and creative industries have strived to raise the public's environmental awareness by incorporating green concepts and using reclaimed waste materials in their works. This study draws on the example of Taiwanese artist Tang Ya Lay to explore the use of eco-friendly materials in artistic applications. The results show that reservoir silt can be used in large quantities in ceramic production, and that such novel application allows for the creation of artistic works with an added dimension of environmental awareness. This fusion of artistic creativity and green concepts underscores the vulnerability of ecosystems and reminds the viewers to value the earth's resources. |
