Microplastics

CONCEPT: 

Microplastic is white on earth surface.

Plastic waste fragments into particles that enter soil, water, and bodies. The result is a global microplastic pollution that is everywhere and unseen.

Microplastics have been detected in human blood, breast milk, and lung tissue. They are present in drinking water and food.

The work is built from hand-picked sand, Rutile pigment, and biodegradable cellulose, with a textured white surface on canvas. The white surface is the metaphor: the color of plastic pollution, mimicking what the ground carries.

The work opens selective invisibility: visible color, invisible particles, and the convenience that keeps microplastics unseen.
