Sea of Plastic

An ocean of empty plastic bottles floating against the ocean as a message to recycle and be mindful of each decision one makes around disposal. The artwork is featured on a building outside the TAFE Queensland Cairns Campus.

In researching this topic I became aware of the immensity of the problem of plastic pollution in the ocean, so I wanted to communicate the scale of the problem with this ‘seascape' of endless single-use drink bottles. The blue and green transparent bottles are intended to convey the crystal clear, clean water of my childhood home in Western Australia.
