Plastic from the Abyss
A new study has revealed that human activities are affecting the deepest part of the ocean, more than 1,000 kilometres from the mainland. Plastic pollution is emerging as one of the most serious threats to ocean ecosystems. World leaders, scientists and communities recognize the urgent need for action, but the impacts of plastic pollution are still not well understood.
Since I was a young boy I've always tried to create awareness about the environmental pollution through my art. In this following project I would like to show my personal creative view of the problem in action.
All the plastic used for the creation of this project was collected by me from the beaches of Sardinia. There are still tons of plastic washed-up on the beaches waiting to be picked up by someone...
