CONTEXT

Over 300 million tons of plastic are produced every year for use in a wide variety of applications.

At least 14 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean every year, and plastic makes up 80% of all marine debris found from surface waters to deep-sea sediments.

Marine species ingest or are entangled by plastic debris, which causes severe injuries and death.

WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT

Plastic pollution is a widespread problem affecting the marine environment. It threatens ocean health, the health of marine species, food safety and quality, human health, coastal tourism, and contributes to climate change.

CONCEPT

The first idea was a boat that would collect plastic from the seabed, like the Ocean Cleanup.


To identify the user I replaced the boat with a diver.

The sea is dynamic, generating noise, the shape change never ending.
