More and more artists, sculptors, designers and other creative personalities pay attention to environmental issues in their works and urge viewers to escape from virtual worlds and stone jungles and return to nature at least for a while. Trying to attract people's attention, the authors come up with more and more unusual ways of creativity. Take Hungarian artist Edina Tokodi, for example. The theme of nature is so close to her that she even creates graffiti from moss and plants!
Edina places her works on the walls and fences of New York Brooklyn. Standing out sharply against the backdrop of bricks, steel, glass and stone, her work attracts the attention of passers-by and is very popular with the city's residents. In addition, unlike museum exhibits protected by glass and security systems, Edina Tokodi's works can be touched and felt by everyone.
“I think we are too distant from nature. Urban dwellers often have no relationship with animals or plants. My duty as an artist is to depict those objects that we lack in real life,”says Edina.
One of Edina's latest works is an installation where small sedum bushes are planted on a wooden base. The white stripes of the base and the green leaves of the plants together create an amazing composition that from afar develops into a woman's portrait.
The artist always returns to the places where she left her drawings. Sometimes she tweaks them, but mostly it is not required - the plants get enough moisture and sunlight to exist on their own. “From the moment I place them on the wall, they begin to live their own lives,” says Edina Tokodi.

Graffiti embroidered with a cross on metal bars. Cross-Stitch Graffiti by Sarah Corbett
It seems that needlework in general, and knitting in particular, has already ceased to be associated exclusively with grandmother's hobby and the hobby of housewives on maternity leave. So, young people seem to have rediscovered the delights of needlework, and big cities are decorated with either knitted graffiti from Knitta Please "yarn bombers", which we once wrote about on Culturology.ru, or embroidered Cross-Stitch Graffiti by Sarah Corbett (Sarah Corbett) and a group of like-minded people called Craftivist
