Abstract
Plastic is harming life below the water surface as well
as land-living animals, including ourselves. It is now a
part of our food chain and it’s in our drinking water.
Instead of saying: ”The Blue Planet” we will soon be
saying: ”The Plastic Planet”.

In this project you will see my artistic interpretation of
the problems with plastic pollution. The inspiration
and understanding of the world-wide problem started
with a single photo which gave me, as a designer, a
personal connection that became the root for this
project.

My first idea was that I wanted to create something
out of recycled ocean plastic. I wanted to contribute to
ocean clean-up and somehow create a design paradox.

My first idea was that I wanted to create something

Nonetheless, even though recycling is great, scientists
and according to what the research revealed, it’s not
going to be the solution.

The project is not intending to solve the problem, but
more as an approach to use design to reflect upon
what's happening in the world. Environmentalism
should be a norm and knowledge should be a source
of inspiration. This project is exploring a way to
accomplish this, while using only subtle form
language. (Less)
