Keep the Oceans Clean!

  • Nicole Mascarenhas Carp
The “Keep the Oceans Clean” Art exhibition wills to informe society about the growing problem of marine trash and its true dimensional scale. What exactly is marine trash, where does it come from, how does it affect mankind and the environment, these are some of the exhibition´s central themes, in addition to investigating which plans of actions individuals could take to tackle this global problem, thus ensuring their optimal use and joint development.

Using flotsam and jetsam: beach trash, weathered and dead materials washed up through ocean currents, flowing rivers and the sea itself, the artistic interpretation and composition of these materials brings them back to life, forming skeleton-like objects and mixed media installations, that remind us of the essential skeleton and the process of living and dying.

The importance of keeping the oceans clean and of respecting nature and human rights is the message the artists wish to communicate through their exhibitions.
