— 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.
