Shibori is a process akin to forming geology; they both record shape and pressure. It seems an appropriate visual for the passage of time. The structured forms in this artwork suggest mountains and nature.
The (non-Shibori) plastic is a product of the man-made world. A plastic bag needs 500 years to decompose and its breakdown is toxic.
While human life might only be a nano-second, 500 years a blink, and the rest of eternity, do we dare to care how our world will be for futures beyond our own?
