The sea returns what we discard. In doing so, it reveals a quiet and unsettling cycle. Reshaped by time and tide, these fragments bear the marks of neglect — and an unexpected, austere beauty.
The less recognisable they become, the more compelling they appear. Once objects of convenience, they now exist as altered relics, suspended between utility and ruin.
Rendered in black and white, their surfaces are examined with almost forensic clarity. Stripped of colour, each fracture, abrasion and scar becomes a trace — not accusation, but evidence of passage.
Initially found along the Italian coastline after winter storms, the project now continues along Australian shores. Different oceans, same return. The tide alters geography, not consequence.
This series does not seek to indict. It observes. And in observing, it asks us to look more closely.
