Green Ostrich, Angelo Accardi

“Green Ostrich” is a thought-provoking sculpture that conveys a powerful message about environmental sustainability. This striking statue features an ostrich that appears to have been enveloped in green tar, symbolizing the harmful impact of pollution and waste on our natural world. However, amidst this dark and unsettling exterior, a beautiful transformation takes place as vibrant flowers bloom from the tar. This juxtaposition serves as a poignant reminder of nature's resilience and the possibility of positive change, even in the face of environmental challenges. "Green Ostrich" encourages viewers to reflect on the importance of preserving our planet and taking action to reduce plastic pollution, making it both an aesthetically engaging and socially relevant work of art.
