Sustainability and Art - Mandy Barker

Think about it—how much plastic waste is there around us, in places we’ve become used to seeing it? On sidewalks, in parks, or along coastlines… Artist and activist Mandy Barker uses her photography to encourage us to take action and escape this plastic chaos.

Mandy Barker collects plastics from shorelines around the world and transforms them into striking collages that appear as if they are floating underwater.

The artist's works titled "Soup: Refused" initially captivate with their aesthetic appeal, yet simultaneously have a shocking impact that reminds us of the pressing issue we are facing.
