The Four Wheel Jacket

The four wheel jacket' is an environmental artwork I did in a course at the Agriculture University of Iceland. We often find inspiration in weird places and this time I came across a comment on facebook: 

                         

The project was meant to draw attention to the heavy use of cars that modern society faces in a humorous way. 
We have become so lazy that we don't have the time to park our metal jackets a few meters away from the entrance so instead we often drive for a long time, waiting and hoping to find the perfect parking space, beating the purpose that we went by car "to safe time".

 

This project was also a reflection upon myself. Since I started studying at the AUI, I have been pondering the same two questions every time I go out: “Why do I go by car now? ”and“ What would need to change for me so that I prefer cycling or walking?”. I have made these questions guide me in my career choice and the search for an answer continues.
