“All the king’s horses and all the king’s men will never gather up all the plastic and put the ocean back together again.”
— Charles Moore, Marine Researcher
We feel this image is relevant to the theme we are planning to convey in response to the Light Nelson brief. We are planning on using recycled water bottles, reflections, water and colours to make a statement about the effects of plastics and consumption on our environment. Our environment is our Habitat.
We are going to create a contrast between the natural and the unnatural, urban/nature, industrial verses organic, we will bring these together to transform the state of both synthetic or manufactured materials and our natural habitat.
