? PLASTIC WATER ?
The ocean is a beautiful and spiritual place, she offers a home for life, fluidity, beauty, creation...
What if the ocean was no longer a home for sea life, no longer a source of water, no longer a place to surf and swim?
What if the world’s oceans were full of plastic pollution?
EXPLORE and EMPOWER as we change our relationship to plastic, and begin to heal our rivers and oceans...

✨ABOUT PLASTIC WATER:
Plastic Water Interactive is an art installation transforming The 418 Project into an underwater habitat composed of sculptures made from repurposed, commonly used and discarded plastic items that end up in the ocean.
The sculptures have aerial dance apparatus as skeletons--drifting aerial dancers perform as ailing sea creatures who navigate the “new normal” of our plasticized oceans.
