SOUP is a description given to plastic debris suspended in the sea, and with particular reference to the mass accumulation that exists in an area of The North Pacific Ocean known as the Garbage Patch. Inspired by this sea of plastic, UK photographer Mandy Barker created a series of images documenting these discarded items salvaged from beaches around the world. The work is a means of representing a global collection of refuse that exists within the earth's oceans for various amounts of time.

I was shocked when I found out about this accumulation several years ago. I wish more people were informed about the plastic patch and I hope Mandy Barker is able to touch many with her work.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and yet so terrible to earth's oceans.
