Sunken Beauty by artist Shelby Alexander is an exhibition of mixed media drawings and paintings that speak on the increasing issue of pollution in the fashion industry. Pairing her figures with backgrounds made of recycled clothing, the artist aims to create works that highlight the consumer’s exploitation of nature with an “anti-consumption” statement.
