While the causes are complex and often debated, common factors include overpopulation, the demands of sustaining large populations, and the pervasive influence of profit-driven motives and greed. These forces act as a kind of contagion, disrupting the balance of our environment. This collection presents dark visual metaphors intended to prompt reflection and dialogue. My purpose is to encourage a renewed sense of awareness — an invitation to listen, to observe, and to reconsider our collective impact.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"taking-the-shade","title":"Taking The Shade","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSize: 16” H x 12” W x 12” D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003eSize: 40.6\u003c\/span\u003e cm H x 30.5 cm W x 30.5 cm D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eWeight: 12 lbs 6 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003eWeight: 5.6\u003c\/span\u003e kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eMaterials: Fired stoneware clay, wood, spray paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eHand created in 2025. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eIndoor use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Shipping Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Price shown is the price for you to pick up this sculpture within a 80 mile radius of Los Angeles, California and meet the artist.

It reflects a reality where the need to provide, to build, to survive, can lead to the gradual stripping of the very resources that sustain us. “Taking the Shade” invites the viewer to consider not only what is carried, but what is left behind. It is a meditation on accountability, resourcefulness, and the irreversible impact of our choices—both personal and collective.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Art by SunglassJack®","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50555265483050,"sku":null,"price":3250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/1489\/4634\/files\/TakingTheShadeFront.jpg?v=1756761736"},{"product_id":"hostile-takeover","title":"Hostile Takeover","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSize: 19” H x 13” W x 11” D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003eSize: 48\u003c\/span\u003e cm H x 33 cm W x 28 cm D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eWeight: 12.2 lbs \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003eWeight: 5.5\u003c\/span\u003e kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eMaterials: Fired stoneware clay, wood, spray varnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eHand created in 2025. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eIndoor use only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Shipping Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: Price shown is the price for you to pick up this sculpture within a 80 mile radius of Los Angeles, California and meet the artist.
