“Green” has become a convenient language. It is used to suggest care, progress, and responsibility, while plastic continues to accumulate in the natural world. The materials in this work are collected from the shoreline, fragments of that contradiction. Often originally marketed as recyclable or environmentally considerate, they now exist as persistent evidence of systems that fail beneath their branding. By reworking these materials into fine art, the work interrupts the visual comfort of “green” narratives. It asks the viewer to look again at what is being sold as sustainable, and what is actually left behind. This is not a solution. It is a record.
