Description
Saints are heroes of the faith, those who lived a life to spread a message and, often times, died as martyrs for their beliefs. �Plastic Saint� borrows from religious iconography, evoking the halo of a holy figure and posture of an angel. The seagull, and many species of seabird, consume plastic because it resembles jellyfish or seaweed. Plastic poses a huge threat to marine life due to its ability to travel far distances and break up into smaller fragments that are easy to swallow by the smallest sea creatures. �Plastic Saint� elevates a common bird, highlighting its importance in the ocean ecosystem and modern threats caused by plastic pollution.
