Briefly

Ana Brecevic's 'Plasticum' series serves as a stark reminder of plastic pollution's impact on marine ecosystems. Featuring meticulously crafted paper representations of bleached corals and gorgonians, the work confronts the beauty and fragility of these life forms. Drawing inspiration from the degradation of natural landscapes in Croatia, Brecevic uses recycled materials and upcycled fabrics, enhancing the series' message about environmental awareness. Her intricate designs embody the sorrow of loss in biodiversity while showcasing a creative response to an escalating global crisis.
At the heart of 'Plasticum's' design is the conscious choice of materials. Brecevic exclusively utilizes recycled paper, upcycled fabrics, and natural dyes.
