LUSTRA

Ancient and primal, the Ocean, our mother of mothers. The origin of all life on Earth, the greatest symbol of fertility and birth. We evolved and emerged from there, ready to conquer land. No other natural feature has sparked as much fascination and fear as the Ocean. Being an adventurer at heart, I fulfilled this yearning to explore the haunting beauty of the sea. I dived into the great unknown, to create a photographic series. I traveled to the beautiful islands of The Bahamas, collected discarded fish nets and plastics which I found on the islands. I used this trash and transformed it into treasure in my portraits inviting the viewer to raise their awareness about ocean pollution. Since 46% of the great pacific garbage patch are floating fish nets.
