TITLE: Plastic Mushroom Cloud ITEM #: 023 MEDIUM: Sculpture SIZE: 90 x 90 x 150 mm MATERIALS USED: Recycled one single used plastic cup, recycled smoothie dome lid, cardboard chocolate box, three types of platic wrapping

CONCEPT: The core idea of my project is based on the premises that the plastic waste is the new atomic bomb. My work aims to invite the viewer to silently reflect on the long-term destructive effects of discarding plastic waste in the natural environment; effects comparable with the long-term radiation effects of Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bomb survivors. These effects were not limited only to the survivors but affected unborn children as well. The research has shown that exposure led to physical and mental disabilities, like a small head size, impairment in physical growth and a higher risk to develop carcinogenic cells. My project's objective is to raise awareness of the destructive effects of plastic waste and ultimately challenge us to find long term sustainable solutions for this ticking bomb.
