The Last Ocean” is an expansive landscape of interactive platforms created from reclaimed ocean plastic, evocative of a luminescent ice field composed of beautiful geometric tessellations. This is a work that not only seeks to inspire and educate but also – through the use of reclaimed ocean plastic – to impact the recovery of our oceans and our planet.
“The Last Ocean”, created by American contemporary artist, Jen Lewin, explores the crisis of plastic pollution in our oceans, a warming planet, dwindling natural resources, and the need for aggressive systemic change. How do we address and mitigate the issues our planet faces as a global community?
During the day, the platforms of “The Last Ocean” will highlight the transformation of reclaimed ocean plastic with a swirled surface of blue and white particulate. At night, “The Last Ocean” will glow with vibrant animated light, cycling through a diverse palette of carefully curated colors as visitors interact with the work. Participants will splash and dance in waves of light, illuminating the organic and powerful nature of our oceans.
