WASHED UP

Transforming A Trashed Landscape

Washed Up is an ongoing project by Mexican-born, New York-based artist
Alejandro Durán that addresses the issue of plastic pollution making its
way across the ocean and onto the shores of Sian Ka?an, Mexico?s largest
federally-protected reserve. With more than twenty pre-Colombian
archaeological sites, this UNESCO World Heritage site is also home to a
vast array of flora and fauna and the world?s second largest coastal
barrier reef. Unfortunately, Sian Ka?an is also a repository for the
world?s trash, which is carried there by ocean currents from many parts
of the globe...
