MSA O/N - August 2023 - "Creatures"

A plastic ocean ... old one

It’s no ordinary whale swimming in the Catherijnesingel in Utrecht / The Netherlands. It is made of plastic rescued from the ocean.
The sculpture was made by StudioKCA / New York.

''We dump 8 million tons of plastic into the ocean each year. We could construct 19 life-size empire state building from that.''

Time to choose just one....like I mentioned before, we had such a beautiful variety of submissions! Thank you, everyone.
In the end, I choose @Ivo Stunga 's Great Devourer for its beautifully seen and composed scene. I particularly appreciate the skill and playfulness it takes to create something new out of the ordinary.

Your turn to choose, Ivo!

Ooooh, appreciated and glad you liked my work! The theme for September is Macro.

Good choice Daniela. Well done Ivo. I've posted in response to a "define your terms" discussion on the new thread.
