On a sunny August morning in Geneva, a giant sculpture titled 'The Thinker's Burden' made from recycled plastic was unveiled in front of the United Nations. Created by Canadian artist Benjamin Von Wong, the installation serves as a powerful reminder of environmental issues and the consequences of plastic pollution. Von Wong, who transitioned from mining engineering to art, uses his installations to raise awareness and provoke reflection on climate change. Despite challenges, he believes in the importance of continuing to fight for environmental causes, emphasizing that art can play a crucial role in influencing emotions and policy.
