"Cost of Being" by Guelang Choi

What is our cost of existence? It’s not a question we often ask ourselves, but an important one nonetheless. What are the invisible costs of our food consumption, demolishing our habitat, and polluting the planet? While other beings are “paying into” the ecosystem just by existing (plans cleaning polluted air for example), we are draining its resources. This is what artist and graphic designer Guelang Choi, better known as “G”, explores during her time at the AULA Future Lab.
