Mijn stem (my voice/vote)

After joining the Climate March in Amsterdam on November 6th, 2021 I felt the urge to make an art project about it. In The Netherlands we vote with a red pencil during our elections and I was allowed to keep my last pencil. Via Instagram I collected pictures of people who were present at the Climate March. On a 10 meter scroll (60 cm high) I started drawing the people and their signs. I covered about 4,5 metres before I ran out of pencil. In this way I want to make people aware of their vote, express my own concerns about climate change and show how our individual vote is limited.
