‘Beyond the Brink’ is an eye-opening project looking into the Westernised issues of fast fashion and overconsumption. By simulating a landfill within a renowned British landmark, our project aims to create a visually striking composition that vividly illustrates the potential consequences of unchecked consumerism. Through this experience, we confront the true reality of what our world could become if the current consumption chain remains unchanged.
Our initiative sheds light on the overwhelming volume of waste generated by fast fashion, highlighting the unsustainable practices that threaten our planet’s future. With the looming prospect of excess landfill overflow, we confront the uncomfortable truth that third-world countries like Ghana may be unable to bear the burden alone potentially leading to the unthinkable scenario of waste inundating our own environments.
“Beyond the Brink” is a call to action for individuals who are already making efforts to protect our planet, urging them to do more in the face of this imminent crisis. By raising awareness and inspiring collective action, we strive to prevent this dystopian future from becoming a reality. Together, let’s halt the overflow and safeguard our planet for generations to come.
