Wonderful holiday in plastic!

The coastline sparkles.
Not with the sea. But with plastic.
From a distance, it resembles paradise—turquoise skies, families on an outing, children in dresses.
But underfoot, the trash crunches. And beneath layers of sand, the remnants of an old civilization sleep.

Wonderful Vacation in Plastic! captures a disturbing trip to the beach of the future.
Families enjoy their seaside holiday, carrying bags filled with plastic fruit, plush octopuses, and quiet sorrow.

This ironic piece is an artificial memory of the perfect vacation—the kind the planet will one day remember, once people are gone and only their bags, wrappers, and masks remain.

It’s a grotesque.

It’s a fairytale.

It’s a portrait of the world we created—
and the one now creating us.
