Empty Tank/Flower Grenade/Planet Hourglass/Ghost in the Shell

Neo Rakgajane, Visual Artist

Empty Tank:

“In this illustration, the E for empty and F for full are replaced by Earth and Fossils. Our addiction to fossil fuels depletes the earth, degrades our planet’s health.”

Flower Grenade:

“A grenade is turned into a pot plant. Or a grenade explosion depicted as a plant.”

Planet Hourglass:

“The earth is depicted as a heart which, like sand, is dripping down to the bottom half.”

Ghost In The Shell:

“This artwork is inspired by the title “Ghost In The Shell”. It can be interpreted in a variety of ways. The most important is that Shell—the petroleum company— contains death. But also fossil fuels are ancient living things being turned into energy for machines in the modern era.”
