At first glance, these pieces may resemble bridal gowns, alluding to the institution of marriage and the idea of enduring commitment.

But look closer. They serve as metaphors for our dependence on the petroleum industry and its devastating impact on the planet.

Each work is handcrafted from hundreds of melted plastic garbage bags, embodying a moment in history defined by human impact. Plastic, born of oil, symbolizes our unsustainable reliance on fossil fuels, pollution, and non-biodegradable waste.

Delicate and feather-like, the gowns evoke the fragility of nature. Marriages may falter and plastic may be discarded, but plastic remains, forever bound to us, a lasting emblem of human consumption.
