IDA 2024 NOW OPEN -- Early Bird Deadline May 30, 2024
The ocean pollution from plastic waste is serious. Not only visible garbage but also invisible micro-plastic is impacting the ocean creatures and the environment. My concern about the ocean environment is the starting point of this project. The recycling plastic collection emphasizes cognitive dissonance between nature and plastic, which evokes more meaning when it becomes jewelry communicating with the human body. When the plastic meets the ocean, it’s pollution, and in my works, the meeting of plastic and sea creatures is a creative way of conveying the seriousness of pollution.
