The image shown in the photo was built with all the waste that we found during a beach clean up, including the two dolls in the middle. This shows our love and addition for the plastic and other waste that is surrounding and suffocating us without us even realizing it.

This photo was taken on a sandy beach during a clean up event. This pile of discarded fishing gear can kill a lot of sea creatures since they get tangled in them or swallow them and die. No one is responsible for these nets since they do not have a known owner and are call Ghost nets with cause what is known as Ghost fishing.

This photo was taken during one of the Turtle release events we attending to during this year. The event was followed by a clean up session on the beach where we found this pile of lost fishing nets. This lump of dangerous material causes damage to all sort of living sea creatures and this photo shows how invasive our behavior is. It contrasts with the beautiful natural landscape of the place.

This photo was taken during one of the Turtle release events we attending to during this year. Three sea turtles were released after a period of rehabilitation they had to pass through due to injures we humans caused with our fishing practices and dumped waste. It was a very emotional experience for all of us. In this photo, the turtle is like taking a photo for us to keep as a momento of the occasion. On the other hand it also shows our invasion of the turtle territory where even during its release we had to interfere in some way or another. In fact we noticed that the turtle had to change its course towards the sea since it was suspicious of the strange object.

This photo was taken in the limits of Siggiewi. I was really disappointed about the amount of waste that was dumped in this area especially construction waste that should be disposed of in an appropriate way but instead is littering the countryside.
