ARTWORK DESCRIPTION
This work was created considering two very current problems global pollution and the loss of human life.

I imagined a plastic bottle in the vast sea and a hand that seems to want to grasp that bottle but fails because a wave sweeps it away. The loss of life is symbolically indicated by the colour of the water.

I wanted to symbolically represent in an unreal scene two motifs that dominate our days.

This is how ‘Invasive Plastic’ was born, a project of artworks in full view of environmental protection.
