Story by Artist : Alana Marcoccia

The natural elements of the landscape are painted expressionistically, and the pipes are painted graphically to represent the unnatural, but sometimes necessary addition to the land. The vegetation in the landscape is painted with dark tones with black lines running throughout. The animation depicts the movement of the water as it surges throughout the black lines, like the veins of the human body, bringing life to the surrounding vegetation. SDG 6 brings awareness to the global fight for access to clean drinking water. Infrastructures need to develop in communities globally so that sanitation needs and clean water – a basic human right – are available to all. With infrastructures in place, water will bring life and communities will thrive.

Artiest

I am an educator and multidisciplinary artist, living in Toronto, Canada. At an early age, I began to draw and paint, which led to completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art in 2003. At this time, I focused on combining painting with video projection, where a still painting came to life with movement. After university, my life took a different direction away from creating art. In 2019, my creative spark was reawakened after taking a pottery class, and I began to paint again. I work in a variety of mediums – oils, acrylics and watercolours, and have recently introduced ceramics into my art forms. I explore the elements and principles of design along with the relationship between two- and three-dimensional forms. As I begin to emerge back into my creative process, I am beginning to create work about connection and relationship to self and the world around me. Using my art to provide social commentary on important issues.
