It’s All About The Journey
“It’s All About The Journey” was inspired by a photograph I took of my husband while roaming, the streets of Old Havana. This is one of my favourite photos, as I feel this photo makes you want to jump in and enjoy the journey with him.
I used acrylic paint with a monochrome colour scheme for the portrait and for contrast in the background I used old Patagonia catalogues. The background depicts the world map, and with this, I wanted to illustrate that travelling is not always about the destination “It’s All About The Journey”.
The silver border around the map symbolizes that every journey you take has a silver lining and that journey does not always have to be a new destination but could be a personal journey as well.

About the author, Mariska
Hi and welcome! My name is Mariska. I am originally from South Africa, but now call the world my home. I am an artist, designer, environmentalist, podcast host and speaker.
I started the Mama Earth Talk podcast in 2018 to share some of the things that I learned about just how easy it can be to reduce your impact on the environment. This then quickly grew into a forum that showcases the amazing things that many people are doing to make the planet better, and further into a source of hope and inspiration for many. A few of the amazing guests include Zero Waste Queen, Bea Johnson, Claude Silver, Kathryn Kellogg and zero waste chef Max La Manna.
If you do not already I urge you to follow me and my journey on social media (@designbymariska), and to refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle and rot your own waste using the handy tips I post!
