Illuminating the Paradox of Persistence

"Paradox of Persistence " is a vibrant statement to the persistence of plastic in our modern world. Crafted from brightly coloured recycled plastic, this sculpture acts as a focal point within a larger installation built in 2023. Lit with lights that cast intriguing shadows, it asks viewers to ponder the ongoing impact of plastic on our planet.

As a material that never rots or disintegrates, plastic embodies a form of eternal existence. Through this sculpture, we confront the reality that every piece of plastic ever produced still exists in some form, highlighting the urgent need for recycling and sustainable practices.

The exchange of light and shadow accentuates the sculpture's intricate details, bringing questions on the complex relationship between humanity and the environment. Shadow act as a reminder of the hidden consequences of our consumption, pleading us to reconsider our habits and choices.

The battery-operated lights, symbolizing the transient nature of life, in contrast to the everlasting presence of plastic. In the grand scale of plastic's persistence, our individual lives are fleeting moments.

Photographed at night, the sculpture comes to life, illuminating the darkness with its vibrant tones and thought-provoking symbolism. A beacon of awareness, it offers viewers a chance to confront the reality of our plastic-laden world and the necessity for change.
