Unveiling the issues of OVERPOPULATION through art
Summary
For most of our history, human population was relatively stable and was never considered as an underlying problem until recently, as it is now the most pressing environmental issue that slowly aggravates the cause of cases like global warming, resource depletion, and environmental degradation. If we try to associate overpopulation to our current situation with the pandemic, it caused a widespread societal disruption, with implications for nearly every aspect of daily life, especially with the number of inhabitants living in a place.
Our population is growing rapidly, further outpacing our planet's ability to support it, given from our current practices.We, as a student aims to establish an awareness through creative and visually appealing exhibition and give the people a sense of concern with regards to this matter. At the very least, we can help support, and advocate this issue through the use of art and show that this type of situation isn't to be put aside or deemed as irrelevant.

Title: No room for you down here.
-Everyday, in a crowded market or a busy street; thousands of people walk these very streets in hopes to provide for their needs and the needs of their folks. Some kid go to school while some beg in streets. Some travels to go work while some travels to find one. We are congested in a tight space of hopes, too occupied to care, feeding on the limited sustenance, in which our never ending population needs. Our life only consist of consuming, growing, reproducing, yet we can barely provide for every single one of our people. Our numbers still increases and are still polluting this very soil that we lived in. Now, portion of this populace are getting left behind, ignored over the fact that each of us are too busy fighting over what we can barely scrape of our planet.Title: "Hey! you drop your earth"
Instead preservation, all we do is endangerment.Work process:
I've been contemplating over this topic for quite some time and gave me a bit momentarily thoughts. I was in denial at first with the overpopulation thing because of our morality rate, and that its impossible to run out of supply. Turns out we do have an abundance of supply, people have just been way too greedy about it. So, I decided to make my artworks a bit simple by showing what an everyday commute looks like, that's it heavy enough knowing our reality is us people, tirelessly working justso we can eat something at our table. I made the other one symbolic yet plainly obvious; just like the said topic.

TITLE: Exceeding beyond limits: An everyday situation
An artwork that shows the expressions of the people of their everyday situation. Due to the increasing number of existing human being exceeds the actual capacity of every transportation vehicle resulting to long, overcrowding, and tiresome commuting.TITLE: Utopia
A place where you can live a happy life, where you can get job opportunities, and get everything you want. The so called utopia where it is overcrowded, sky blocked by tall buildings, pollution everywhere, traffic, and rising cost of living – A utopia indeed.

The first thing that I thought about this topic is this image. A lot of people are struggling in daily life to provide food for their children. What more, for the families that has a lot of members in their houses.Output#2
Every day the commuters fall in line for an hour to get on the bus. The numbers of commuters is increasing due to over popullation. Some people are looking for a job or going to work. Their daily life as a commuter is very tiring. Imagine yourself falling in line in that overcrowded lane to get home.
