Plastic Sea
Today, plastic is the most common element found in the oceans and its presence kills more than one million seabirds, and 100,000 marine animals die every year from the ingestion and entanglement of plastic pieces since much of the marine life can’t be distinguished between food and plastic. Keeping the pattern of plastic being discharged into the oceans, by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish (by weight).
Plastic Sea series was made to create awareness for the problem our oceans face, focusing on the plastic that washes ashore in a remote beach near the Colombian Darien Gap, where almost no people inhabit but the plastic still reaches in surprising amounts.
