Sculptures made out of trash from the ocean
ESCULTRASH
A collaborative project with Bio-Hogar for the annual "Festival de los Océanos" in Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Over 10 days, trash was collected from the beaches of the Yucatan Peninsula, sorted, and used to create these sculptures by artists Giovanna Gonzalez and Fernando Gonzalez, assisted by Manuel Korts.
This exhibition aims to raise awareness about our plastic consumption and the responsibility we have as consumers and businesses to change our production and usage habits. The excessive use of plastic is devastating our oceans, harming ecosystems, killing marine species, polluting beaches, and contaminating our bodies with microplastics.
"The problem is real and visible, inspiring us to create these sculptures. Recycling alone is not enough; the solution lies in changing our daily consumption habits. One person can make a massive change, recognizing that the water bottle you drank today will take 500 years to decompose in the ocean."
murals for environmental awareness
This Mural was created during the OASIS FESTIVAL in Isla Mujeres Mexico.
"Octopus swimming in an ocean of pet plastic."
This mural was part of a campaign to show our discomfort over the ways of production of the major multinational companies that sell water, soft dinks and other Pet plastic packed products, to encourage them to improve their packaging system and management of waste and recycle.
