PLASTIC OCEAN THE ARTIFICIAL SEA WE CREATED
The ocean is no longer a pure domain of nature. Plastic Ocean - an ocean filled with plastic - is the vast legacy of human civilization, a strange new ecosystem where our discarded remnants have fused with nature itself.
Plastic was never meant to exist in the natural world, yet it has become an inseparable part of the sea. Endless fragments of plastic debris drift with the currents, coexisting with marine life. Fish consume microplastics, coral embraces plastic particles as if they were part of its own growth, and the sea, instead of rejecting this foreign material, absorbs it and sends it back to us.
A SPACE WHERE NATURE AND ARTIFICIALITY COLLIDE
Plastic Ocean is more than an environmental crisis - it is a space where the boundaries between nature and artificiality have dissolved. Plastic waste is no longer just discarded material; over time, it weathers against the currents, fades under the sun, and fuses with marine organisms, taking on an almost organic presence. In this ocean, natural life no longer thrives in its purest form. Instead, Artificial remnants become part of the ecosystem, functioning like new synthetic organisms. Coral reefs are growing around plastic debris, plastic bags drift like seaweed, and transparent bottles float in the depths like ghostly marine creatures. Are they still waste, or have they become part of a new, mechanical nature.
