ABOUT THE ARTWORK:
This work is from a series that I have been working on centred around the age of the Anthropocene. The romantic attraction of the coastal edge with its luminous sea and golden sand has rendered us incognizant to the environmental degradation hidden in our waterways, specifically from microplastic.
