LUAP speaks to Ecohustler about The Pink Bear, environmental anxiety and the role of travel and Photography in developing work that responds to a changing natural world.
The interview traces The Pink Bear to a childhood memory recovered during CBT, before following LUAP’s travels from plastic-strewn beaches in Thailand to the landscapes of New Zealand and Patagonia. He discusses travel as a form of therapy, the way first-hand Photography feeds into later work, and how pieces such as The Plastic Flood use The Pink Bear to confront pollution and climate anxiety. The conversation closes on hope as something that must be matched by action, from changes in individual habits to greater responsibility from large corporations.
