An installation of a staged shop window; ‘PolluShine, Is It Worth It?’, aims to highlight how barbaric and damaging we are being to marine life and surrounding species. Using a mixture of made and found plastic objects, a shop scene demonstrates the impact of man’s consumer culture on wildlife and the environment. With sourcing and packaging of our food and products, we are inflicting this lifestyle onto the animals effected. This installation is a call to arms, and recognises the need to work together to create change. Less than 20% of all plastic is recycled globally, with 40% of plastic produced being single use packaging (National Geographic 2018).
Each sculpture represents a real circumstance, a painful reminder of the destruction we are leaving behind.
