SEA LIFE 2.0
(2015-2016)

Traditionally, we used to wear coral and the shells of other sea life as decoration. Today, our seas are rich with discarded plastic. I wondered what Sea Life 2.0 might look like.
A seahorse, a squid, and a prawn were created from plastic forks, deformed by heat, and then cast in silver and gold. Each one retains the same mass as the original plastic injection fork piece.
