展出作品: Fully Starved

2019年，國家地理發表關於一頭「擱淺於菲律賓的鯨魚飽受飢餓之苦， 因為牠的胃裡塞滿了塑膠垃圾，而非食物。」的文章[1]。

經過解剖發現，鯨魚的肚內塞滿約40公斤的塑膠垃圾。

Eco-advocate Art Society將塑膠廢料勾畫並堆砌出鯨魚形狀，象徵鯨魚誤將海裡的塑膠和垃圾當作食物吃下肚。由於肚內的垃圾不能被分解、消化，或排出，鯨魚最終在肚內被撐滿的情況下，活活餓死，死前飽受飢餓與脫水的摧殘。

國家地理雜誌指出，「科學家在2015年推估約有90%的海鳥都曾吞下一些塑膠。聯合國教科文組織（UNESCO）則估計每年有10萬隻海洋哺乳類動物因塑膠污染而死。」

Eco-advocate Art Society希望透過作品Fully Starved，喚醒大眾對塑膠污染導致生物死亡的關注。

In 2019, National Geographic Magazine published an article reporting on a “stranded whale in the Philippines suffering from hunger after its stomach was filled with plastic trash rather than food.” An autopsy found that the whale’s stomach was stuffed with about 40 kilograms of plastic waste.

Eco-advocate Art Society depicted plastic waste and stacked it into the shape of a whale, symbolizing the whale mistaking plastic and garbage in the sea for food and swallowing it. Since the waste in the stomach could not be decomposed, digested or expelled, the whale eventually died of starvation in a bloated state. Before death, it suffered from dehydration and starvation.

National Geographic Magazine stated that “scientists estimated in 2015 that about 90% of seabirds had swallowed some plastics. UNESCO estimates that up to 100,000 marine mammals die each year from plastic pollution.”

Eco-advocate Art Society hopes to raise public awareness of plastic pollution leading to the death of organisms through the work Fully Starved.
