HATalk Competition Entry 2023
Ilana Horn
Description
I designed the hat inspired by the earth, I wanted to show the continents and the ocean and the vegetation that are affected by the state of the earth. How the damages affect it.
The earth provides us with a lot of inspiration for creativity and the use of natural and recycled materials. When we understand the natural value of the earth and the need to preserve it, we begin to think of ways to minimize our environmental impact and use natural and recycled materials.
When we use natural and recycled materials, we reduce the use of single-use plastic materials that can cause environmental pollution and damage to sea animals and nature.
The dry leaves can represent the pollution and its effect on the plants of the land, and the living leaves can represent the renewal and renewal of nature as the earth looks for ways to deal with the effects of global warming.
A combination of natural materials such as tree bark and dry and living leaves, in combination with other design elements, helps to create a strong connection between the warming and pollution of the earth and the design, and gives an interesting look that is connected to nature.
Techniques:
Hat technique in addition to combined sewing technique.
Using glue to preserve the shape of the leaf and illustrate the effect of global warming on nature.
