“PLASTIC BAG #1” is an artwork that explores the concept of boundaries through the use of plastic bags, a material that is both ubiquitous and controversial. The piece features a section of a continent encased in a plastic bag, symbolizing the intersection of our everyday lives with pressing environmental issues.
Although plastic bags are commonly perceived as harmless and mundane, their hidden environmental impact is significant. The choice to use plastic bags, which have been banned in over 120 countries, underscores the critical conversation about consumption and environmental responsibility.
