MAKING OUR WAY TOWARDS POLLUTING OUR ENTIRE UNIVERSE… ONE PLASTIC BAG AT A TIME
Sea Heaven is an interactive art installation made to raise awareness of the amount of trash we are polluting our oceans with. All of the plastic was collected within the Products of Design department for two consecutive weeks.
Sea Heaven gives a voice to those affected by this destruction. They seek help but can’t ask for it, we have to help those animals who suffer and be held accountable for our actions.
