A self-portrait as a witness appears in different points and locations, merely imitating presence. On one hand, it softens loneliness; on the other, it becomes an alien, excessive object. An act of vandalism.
Recycled plastic, as a material, speaks of the same: humans invent plastic as a catastrophe, yet then try to correct this very mistake—reworking it, iterating. Becoming both witnesses to chaos and participants in salvation.
