Aerial photography showing the extent of ocean pollution from above captured my imagination; it depicted a black cloud of plastic and excrement making its way into the sea. The photos are at once stark and staggering, and sublime at the same time.

‘Water’s Littoral’ is a response to the photography. It invites the viewer to witness the force and strength of our life-sustaining waters in spite of man-made abuses. Mother Earth fighting her good fight against the odds and in spite of her ongoing abuse. Water, sea and ocean as a metaphor for majestic feminine power, with sea water from local shores used as an elemental and fundamental connection to our life-giving waters. It is a protest against ecological destruction, by embracing the ecofeminist energy of Mother Nature’s spirit, recognising nature as having agency and resilience.
