“UNLOVELY”
I was interested when I heard the theme in the class. At the same time, I felt that the next project will be difficult for me because I didn’t know well how an unlovely thing transform to designs of clothes. However, in this time, I want to have playful while creating, so I’ll do the project without overthinkg.
I’ve picked up three topics, marine plastic pollution, global warming and atomic bomb.
[Marine plastic pollution]
I’m from Japan, and I’ve used a lot of plastic since a child. Japan is an environmentally backward country. The most thing is sold in plastic packaging. I’ve heard that plastic will not return to nature but remain after the extinction of the human race. Also, I learned that marine life is a health hazard due to plastics dumped into the sea. I hope that this issue will be resolved and I also will try not to produce too much plastic waste in the future.
[Global warming]
I’m really afraid of the issue since a child. I used to worry that the earth would melt away when I was little. Global warming scares the hell out of me because I love the earth. I don’t want to live on another planet.
[Atomic bomb]
It is my trauma because I can’t forget pictures related to the atomic bomb which is so horrible when I was in primary school. I can’t watch movies and dramas which include war and gross scenes. I don’t want to research it honestly, but I think that I need to learn it for peace in the future. After knowing about President Putin’s comments suggesting the use of nuclear weapons, I feel strongly that I need to think hard about what the atomic bomb is and what peace is. but this topic is really scary for me, so I have to research it carefully.
