Devine's intention is to bring attention to the devastating damage flytipping does the the countryside. Other modified classics in the collection include Sir John Everett Millais' 'Ophelia in the Stream', which has been reconfigured to reflect the issue of river pollution. Meanwhile, L.S. Lowry's 'Coming Home from the Mill' has been changed to highlight changing working patterns and increased social isolation. The previously crowded scene, depicting workers walking home set against an industrial background, is now reduced to just one figure, making the journey home alone. All of the reworked pieces were made to celebrate the launch of Samsung's 'Solve for Tomorrow' competition for 2023. The competition encouraged young people to solve societal and global problems using technology. Devine's work is being displayed at the brand's flagship store in Kings Cross, London until November 17. The artist said: "Reinventing the classics with a modern twist was a huge challenge but something of a labour of love - as many of the issues highlighted are close to my heart. "The pictures highlighting Britain's past and present, but there is a lot we can do about the future and that is why projects like 'Solve for Tomorrow' are so important."
