Fast Fashion: Buy Now, Pay Forever

by Angela Gonzalez

“In the face of an unprecedented environmental crisis driven by global warming and overconsumption, achieving a sustainable future requires balancing people, planet, and profit. My work explores the intersection of art, technology, and sustainability, shedding light on the environmental consequences of our throw-away culture. I focus on the growing crisis of e-waste and fast fashion, both of which overwhelm landfills and degrade our planet. By incorporating e-waste and second-hand clothing into my pieces, I aim to spark reflection on consumerism’s role in fueling this crisis and foster conversations about the need for conscious consumption and sustainable practices.”
