Through his work, PINS raises awareness on topics that matter, including equality, diversity and addiction, paving the way to spark positive change and make an impact through fine art. In his latest collection, PINS explores the theme of mental health, underpinning the notion that we need to wake up and become ‘unzipped’ to wider issues and societal concerns. For the installation, PINS has creatively recaptured the YKK zipper in his collection, ‘Zippy Lippy’, intertwining his themes with the functional object, illustrating his philosophy – unzipping the consciousness of mass- consumerism, obsession, and surface popular culture that has distorted society. PINS’ Zippy Lippy collection melds together fine art, sculptures and YKK zips to create a platform that ignites onlookers to wake up to reality and self-reflect, confronting the problems of mental health, technology addiction and society’s fixation on social media.
