    Packaged to Survival
    4 x 4 ft

    By Aahana Srimani, Ina Bharadwaj, Karishma Chotrani, Saira Dua & Vashita Rungta
    from, Modern High School International, Kolkata

    Material used:
    Plastic bottles, plastic packets, craps of cardboard, bottle caps, glass pieces, saw dust, CDs, twine

    The use of waste materials in this artwork is a powerful statement to show the impact of human activity on the environment. With the ever-increasing use of plastics and other non-biodegradable materials, the risk to marine life has increased exponentially. As a part of this initiative, we wanted to showcase the extreme effects of human activity on aquatic species. The materials used for this project are waste products that primarily end up discarded into the sea, eventually posing a choking hazard to these marine animals, for example, plastic straws, bottles, caps, bubble wraps, cans. Through this project, we wanted to shed light on this extremely important and pressing issue, the struggle of the species to exist in this human congested environment. Our artwork shows the contrast between the harsh reality(below) and what we perceive on a superficial level which portrays the perfect aquatic marine life.

    Annually, around 14 million tons of plastic end up in oceans, disrupting marine life. The concept is nicely represented. Usage of colours and shapes created with waste materials are contributing to the flow of the project. Also, the name is apt.

    I agree, the art work in question is a sublime masterpiece that captures the tragic reality of plastic pollution in our oceans. Its portrayal of discarded plastic items submerged in a sea of blue evokes a sense of overwhelming despair at the damage we have inflicted upon our planet. The artist’s use of color is particularly striking, with the vibrant hues of plastic contrasting starkly against the muted shades of the ocean. The juxtaposition of these elements serves as a poignant reminder of the destructive impact of human activity on the natural world. The attention to detail in this piece is truly remarkable. The intricate shapes and textures of the plastic debris are rendered with exquisite precision, conveying the sense of a once-useful object now reduced to a useless and dangerous pollutant. The artist’s skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and complexity to the composition, creating a haunting and unforgettable image. In sum, this work is a powerful and timely commentary on the urgent need for environmental action. Its stark beauty serves as a call to action, reminding us of our responsibility to preserve and protect our planet for future generations.
