Raising awareness by turning flotsam into art

The Castaway: The Afterlife of Plastic exhibit at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture is an impactful collection of photography of debris found floating in our oceans that have been transformed into a message about pollution and how it effects our perception.

With intentions of raising awareness by turning flotsam into art, art collective TRES (Ilana Boltvinik & Rodrigo Viñas) draws you in with this fascinating idea from debris collected and photographed from the beaches of Australia.
