Beach Architecture 1
brooch, 2019
driftwood, plastic bags, mechanism from stainless steel

Beaches all over the world are not made up only of sand and stone, but also plastic. Slowly our waste streams have become visible: how they are influencing our environment and our very bodies, constantly and quietly, changing the composition of the world around us just a little at a time, until they are in our very bloodstream. We are intertwined with them, our civilization inescapably connected to our waste.
