Ivana Damien George uses her creativity to raise consciousness about the interconnectedness of all living beings with the environment to encourage conservation and sustainable habitation on Earth. Her artistic influences are varied and include Baroque painting, Surrealism, Dada, the feminist art movement, performance practices, ancient goddess art and more. In her photography series, Glacial Waters series she traveled to Peru with a team of climate scientists to explore the loss of glaciers in inhabited (non-polar) regions of the world where the glaciers are part of the local hydrology. She gathered the glacial melt water in a spherical crystal vessel and photographed the reflected landscapes within it to express the glacial loss and the associated fresh water resource issues caused by a warming planet. In her Sustain photography series, she documents her attempt to live a sustainable lifestyle by growing an abundant organic fruit and vegetable garden in her small urban lot. The lighting style is inspired by Baroque painting genre to impart a sense of drama and emphasis on the produce. She uses color, lighting, framing and posing to creatively expresses the beauty, unique varieties, sustainability and deliciousness of the fruits and vegetables that can be grown in a small urban garden. The vintage styling references the WWII era victory garden movement, when Americans grew 60% of their produce in backyards and community gardens.
