About Environment Day Window Display
Environment Day is a retail window display created for a store in Istanbul. The display features a hand made dry land wall that draws the attention of people passing by. The idea arose from drought and the loss of natural resources on Earth. A green field was designed to penetrate the dry land, showing that renewal is still possible. The dry land was formed from clay applied to MDF plates and sun dried for one week to create a fissured surface. The green areas are made of moss and the letters are cut from wood. About 98 percent of the display is made from sustainable and organic materials.
