Our work begins with the collection of waste on beaches with environmental activists. This waste, dumped into the sea, is returned and swallowed up again by the sea. Plastic bottles, cutlery, bags or condoms replace shells, crabs and other marine flora and fauna. We wanted to portray this new invasive plastic species that we find in our seas in a series of images made by means of the cyanotype photographic process, also known as blueprint. We took the collected waste to the photography laboratory and we created photograms through physical contact. It is an artistic, documentary and critical project that aims to inform, signify and reflect on the impact of human presence on the environment. This is all done by harnessing the potential of artistic expression to generate social bonds as well as to facilitate collective action and citizen agency (Fowles, S., and J. Arterberry. 2013. “Gesture and performance in Comanche rock art.” World Art 3: 67–82.; DeMarrais, E., and J. Robb. 2013. “Art makes society: an introductory visual essay.” World Art 3 (1): 3–22.).

我们的工作始于与环保活动家一起在海滩上收集废物。这些废物，倾倒在海里，又被海归还吞没。塑料瓶、餐具、袋子或避孕套取代了贝壳、螃蟹和其他海洋动植物。我们想在一系列通过蓝图摄影过程（也称为蓝图）制作的图像中描绘我们在海洋中发现的这种新的侵入性塑料物种。我们将收集到的废物带到摄影实验室，并通过身体接触制作照片。这是一个艺术性、纪实性和批判性的项目，旨在告知、表明和反思人类存在对环境的影响。世界艺术3：67-82。DeMarrais, E. 和 J. Robb。2013. “艺术造就社会：介绍性视觉文章”。世界艺术3 (1): 3–22.)。
