Contextual Statement

“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

Our environment is our habitat. As a group project for Light Nelson, we have explored the concept of habitat. We decided our focus towards this project should be environmental, highlighting the inundation of plastics in our oceans. The scale of this work is important, to make an impact on the viewer. Synthetic Nature encourage self-reflection, playing on the theme of water. What changes can be made in the way we treat our environment? The light in the work plays a major role in the works concept, here the light will illuminate the issue and lead us in a new direction.
