​​​​Microplastics in the food chain

In modern society, our food carries an invisible form of pollution — microplastics. These microscopic particles, undetectable to the naked eye, silently enter our bodies through daily consumption, accumulating slowly but persistently. Our work visualises this hidden invasion through a ceramic model of a human stomach, illustrating how microplastics build up over time — from one week, to one month, to five years. The deep blue particles gradually fill the stomach cavity until they overflow, symbolising the silent deposition of plastic in our bodies and the potential long-term health risks caused by our everyday choices.

This is not merely an artwork about pollution — it is a mirror reflecting reality. Microplastics creep into our bodies without causing immediate pain, yet their impact may surface years later in the form of illness. Will we passively accept this invisible crisis, or take responsibility by reducing single-use plastic, shifting our consumption habits, and calling for stricter environmental policies?
