Check out beautiful sustainability images
Selection of images created by artists and activists illustrates the theme of sustainability
Sustainability is a very broad topic and this makes it difficult to create a mental image that can define the concept. Many artists, such as Paulo Grangeon in the installation of sculptures Pandas on Tour, pictured above, work with the subject, either through works made with natural resources, as in the case of land art, in which the natural terrain composes the artistic work, whether through sculptures, assemblies, installations, photographs or paintings.
