“Land art,” an art using the environment to make an artistic point, is consistently debated for its ethics. Many of its artworks are about the relationship between humans and the natural environment, including the harm we often do to our planet. While many deem this form of art as a necessary evil, others believe that the harm to the environment caused by land art cannot be justified by the intention to spread awareness to a cause, however laudable. Some infamous instances include surrounding islands with floating fabric, and wrapping trees in plastic. These works have not only sparked ethical debates but ecological and legal ones as well.
