April 22 is Earth Day, marking the 46th anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement.
To celebrate and inspire global action, 35 artists are showcasing their work online with the Oakland-based nonprofit Art Works for Change. The eclectic works, which range from dystopian paintings of future Earth to installations of trash mounds, ask viewers to join in the fight against climate change.
One of the featured artists, Nicole Dextras, has created a line of garments made from plants in her ongoing series entitled "Weedrobes."
"The series poses questions about the future ramifications of unsustainable practices," she tells Tech Insider.
Take a look.
Dextras, who lives in Vancouver, makes dresses and suits from recycled flowers, leaves and branches. She has made over 50 garments so far.
The collection includes everything from flower gowns to cabbage leaf shoes. She chooses the plants based on what's in season.
The photos narrate a sci-fi story by Dextras. The people are climate change survivors in a post-apocalyptic future "where the fragility of life is palpable and the need for beautification and fashion persists," she says.
