A set of randomly organized, yellowish, light-emitting square objects is displayed on the wall. The array showcases a mixed layout of luminous surfaces and translucent, amber-coloured sheets of bioplastics. On closer inspection, some shapes have dissected common insects perched on them.

 

The work "Endangered Minus" addresses the issue of plastic pollution and its contribution, among other factors, to diminishing biodiversity on our planet.

 

The title "Endangered Minus" refers to the denominated species in danger of extinction. This category contrasts with all other species living on our planet, which are not directly threatened by extinction under this system but face a hyper-fragile situation given the current status quo of pollution and climate events on Earth.

 

In recent decades, humans have come to the realization that the mass production of non-biodegradable items pose a threat to themselves and all living organisms.

 

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