Plastic is a deadly threat to marine life. It takes hundreds of years to degrade into less harmful substances. According to scientists, the concentration of plastic in the oceans has increased from 16 trillion pieces in 2005 to about 171 trillion pieces today. Without intervention, this number could nearly triple by 2040.

Single-use plastics, such as bottles, packaging, fishing gear, and others, break down into smaller fragments over time due to sunlight and mechanical degradation. Wild animals, including whales, seabirds, turtles, and fish, often mistake these plastic pieces for food and can starve to death when their stomachs fill with indigestible plastic.

The impact of microplastics and macroplastics on human health remains uncertain, although they have been found in drinking water, as well as in lungs, veins, and the placenta. This pervasive problem demands urgent action to develop and implement solutions.

This abstract collection resembles the appearance of microplastics under a microscope, while the cubic collection represents plastic debris discarded in the oceans.

They serve as a stark reminder that passivity in the face of this environmental crisis will lead to disastrous consequences for all. We must all commit to efforts to combat plastic pollution and mitigate its effects.
