SOUP by Mandy Barker
These pieces of environmental art portray scenes involving pieces of litter. In particular pieces of litter were found from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch which is located in the north Pacific. The Garbage patch is formed due to an oceanic gyre, which is a large rotating ocean current that acts to trap waste particles. The size of the garbage patch is unknown but is estimated to be between 700,000 (270,000) and 15,000,000 square kilometres (5,800,000 sq mi), up to 8% of the North Pacific’s total area. The total mass of this plastic is estimated at 100 million tonnes.
