In 2 hours beach combing every participant had a bag with this.

After 5 Saturdays mornings of picking up every piece of plastic found on the amazing Casa Wabi beach, this was the harvest.

During the residency at Casa Wabi in Oaxaca, Mexico, Femke was smitten by the beautiful beach at the location. It looked deserted and pristine. But walking there every morning Femke started noticing tiny, and big, pieces of plastic every day. Each Saturday she started collecting that. The other artists residents started joining her. In 6 weeks this was the result. The waste could be devided into : hygiene stuff like toothbrushes and combs, wrapping materials, food things like cutlery, bottles and cups, weird stuff like insulation,mosquito mesh, many single flipflops, and so on. It washed ashore every hour. Femke was horrified by it and wanted to raise awareness for the local community. She tried to leave the area, a beautiful natural place, cleaner than she found it, after her residency.
