Found Floating 2025
Recycled materials from school grounds, previous artworks and donations
200 x 400 x 150 cm
About the Work
The ocean is affected by humans’ discarded items entering the ecosystem. This artwork uses some of these items before they can land in the water and cause damage. The jellyfish was chosen as the shape because of the link to turtles and their diet, and the harm caused by ingesting plastic waste.
About the Artist
The artwork was created by a group of students from the Visual Art department at Northern Beaches State High School in a collaboration between Years 9–12 and Certificate 1 in Visual Art students. The students participated in the collection, framing and assembly of the waste materials into the jellyfish form.
