In this piece, the human being is placed or feels themselves to be central, symbolised by the red line. This line pulls the textile together and in doing so forms the globe. The surrounding layers represent nature and water, interspersed with plastic. Through the three layers runs a fourth layer: a timeline indicating the use of materials. In the past, these were the natural materials we have known for centuries. In the present, it is plastic, and in the future, new materials will be used – ones that are still unknown to us. We will develop these materials based on our current insights regarding plastic and the major environmental disaster associated with it. Plastic has served its purpose, as thanks to our current understanding, we will continue to advance and not remain stuck in the past.
The print beneath the work is a representation of the foundation of the textile.
