2019- present

 

Since the Spring of 2019, I have been collecting plastic bags that end up in neighbor’s houses and mine. I have also been gathering pieces of plastic that I find in the street and in city gardens tying them up as I walk. Just like many other people, I have been asking myself how to diminish the amount of plastic we use every week, how to ask my neighbors to stop using so much plastic and how and where to find city gardens without a trace of it. Although I have come to diminish the amount of plastic, I use and had interesting conversations with my neighbors about what it implies to try to use less plastic in our daily lives , this ball keeps growing and there is no clear collective solution on how to de-grow its size.
