Vis van dam

Lizel Von Wielligh created this large fabric geelvis carp with a wooden box plinth, and drought as its main theme. She was living by a dam that was drying up, and imagined this fish living at its very bottom. Lizel hand-dyed the fish with dirty water from the dam. Her creation brings up the discussion on climate change and extinct animals.
