Ocean pollution

Category: Accessories

My design centers around the ideas of rebirth and dialogue. Fishing nets, once tools for harvesting life, have now become silent killers of the ocean. These ghost nets, along with plastic waste abandoned at sea, entangle marine life and cause irreversible damage. I repurpose these symbols of destruction into creative materials, reassembling and weaving them to give them new life. In my work, I incorporate waste collected from beaches—such as bottle caps, broken plastic, and ropes. These once-overlooked items become integral parts of my design. No longer merely trash, they serve as traces of our interaction with the environment. Through this act of regeneration, I invite viewers to reflect on our daily consumption habits and their impact on nature. My bags are not just functional objects—they are narrators of the environment. They tell the complex story between humanity and the ocean and express a hopeful vision for the future: when we learn to cherish and respect nature, it will respond with kindness. Through design, I aim not only to create beauty but also to establish a new value system—where waste is not seen as useless, but as a powerful, poetic response to the Earth.
