The Emotional Pollution series represents our responsibility when expressing emotions and feelings toward others. The heart, symbolizing love and the emotions, can sometimes cause harm to those around us when we fail to consider our actions carefully in order to create a safe space. Otto Constantin's practice revolves around identifying mundane situations and constructing a personal narrative around them, enveloping them in a layer of subjectivity. His works are ever-evolving and fluid, with different elements continuously interacting, thereby revealing various facets of an individual story.
