washed ashore

In a (concept) collaboration between THE WASHED ASHORE PROJECT and the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, the EPA proactively collects diverse pollutants—from plastics and electronic waste to metal fragments and planned obsolescence products—in various marine environments. The collected debris is then transformed by The Washed Ashore Project into evocative sculptures depicting marine species affected by these threats. The focal point is a key "activation": a life-sized whale sculpture strategically placed on a renowned beach, symbolizing the tangible impact on marine biodiversity. QR codes placed strategically offer insights into the initiative, marine pollution sources, and The Washed Ashore Project's advocacy. This collaboration would aim to inform, empower, and stimulate collective action, advancing legislative measures for environmental conservation. Importantly, The Washed Ashore Project's sculptures becomes a vital part of a traveling global exhibit, amplifying its reach and impact across borders.
