Eutrophía

A photographic series built from plastic fragments arranged to simulate a patch of sea altered by fertilizer runoff, which causes eutrophication of the water. Forty images corresponding to four phases of eutrophía, structured into a video that plays them back with sound recordings of ocean waves and plastic waste.

Eutrophication, the process by which excess nutrients suffocate aquatic ecosystems, becomes a metaphor for the saturation caused by consumption. In four acts: oligotrophic, mesotrophic, eutrophic and hypertrophic. The series traces the progression of an imbalance that does not stop, from abundance to final suffocation.
