Garbage tail
In continuation with “Garbage Whale” but in a much larger scale, this artwork reprises the zoomorphic garbage whale theme. Just like the tip of an iceberg, the whale tail is the only part visible of the animal symbolizing the plastic pollution in our oceans. It therefore suggests the major part of the beast invisble.
Because if plastic pollution is known by all, among others due to the existence of the “seventh continent”, the major part of the pollution is invisible through microscopic particles in the water and is as dangerous to life, if not more, as the floating wastes.
