Daniel Bozkov Bio

Daniel Bozhkov is a Bulgarian-born, New York-based artist that will be creating unique water exhibit at the University of North Texas during the 2007 Waterways conference. For the past several years, Bozhkov has participated in projects that have focused attention on the connectivity of everything in nature. One of his most famous images is a portrait of Star Wars villain Darth Vader attempting to purify the Black Sea with a Brita filtration pitcher. This absurd visual is powerful because it blends humor and pop culture with the most controversial environmental issues today. The Black Sea, along with many other water sources is being polluted at an alarming rate. Preservation of these valuable resources is key, and Bozhkov’s artwork is helping people all over the world take notice.Resources:http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/review?oid=410252
