The exhibition, a brainchild of Porebski and his wife Agnes Bao, curator of the exhibition, who is also a fashion designer, is the artist couple’s reflection on the choices of responses to the delicate body-and-mind balance and fragile human-nature relationships in a rapidly changing world, beyond the mainstream notions of sustainability.

Through dozens of environmental artworks such as paintings, posters, installations and sculptures made of recycled plastics, paper, metal and even trash, Porebski examines the overuse of nonenvironment-friendly materials on the planet and presents his innovative approaches that change trash into art.

The inspiring course comes in a delightful way, with soft and colorful lighting, soothing fragrances and relaxing meditation music creating a pleasant ambiance. Of greatest importance, the artist and curator’s unremitting efforts in stressing the element of childlike pureness and joy, their answer to keeping a healthy and conscious inner world, bring a lively and positive vibrancy to the exhibition.

A graduate from the Uniwersytet Zielono GorzaPolska in Poland, Porebski has been engaged in the art field for over 20 years. He is also a professional in creative art education for children. “CINEK — Connect With Yourself” is his second eco art exhibition in Shenzhen.
