Garbage whale
Completed during the cultural festival V‑Rox in Vladivostok (Russia), “Garbage Whale” is the first mural from the “Garb-age” project. A project based on poetical and oneiric twists of the garbage bag. This object, symbol of our era and our consumerist civilization, that invades our daily lives and environment.

This mural picturing a whale at scale 1 was completed using only acrylic paint and brushes for a hand painting rendering from a close but that completes the illusion as you step away from it. The mural was buffed when the building was renovated in 2022.

Through the representation of this garbage bag whale, a zoomorphic trash, we are reminded of the ecological emergency that is the “seventh continent”, this cluster of plastic trash in the Pacific Ocean three time the size of France.
