A circular, glowing, backlit panel covered with a thick translucent layer of amber-coloured bioplastic holds rough-edged pieces of resin scattered across its surface and two dark brown Coccyxs sculptures made from a paste of banana peel fibres, also irregularly coated in a bioplastic film.

Bon(e)fire focuses on the issue of plastic pollution.

In recent decades, humans have realized that the overconsumption of natural resources and the mass production of non-biodegradable items threaten them and all living organisms.

​

Conventional plastics are made from petroleum and do not biodegrade. They break down into microplastics and are expected to remain in the environment for centuries. They have been found in the bodies of all living organisms, including humans, and everywhere on our planet, from seafloor sediments to mountain peaks, in the air, and waterways.

​

Unlike traditional plastics, bioplastics are obtained from renewable resources, and most are biodegradable.
