Fast fashion operates without educating consumers on the process behind creating clothing. It relies on low labor costs, the use of synthetics that release micro plastics, and results in high levels of pollution. Through this "clothing boutique" sculpture installation and infographic set, we aim to shed light on the process of producing clothing, and offer alternatives to reduce our impact as consumers. This sculpture installation and infographic set was a collaboration project with the University of Florida's One Health program and the University of Florida's School of Art and Art History course, Art, Body, and Health instructed by Morgan Yacoe.
