Artefacts

La Yareta Cultural Centre, Chile

January 2026

A work drawn from over two hundred images captured in Chile’s Atacama Desert and featuring plastic bottles abandoned to the desert.

Treated with the reverence of archaeological artefacts and framed as elegant landscapes, the images inhabit a liminal space between unsightly and beautiful. Plastic itself mirrors this tension: indispensable and deeply troubling.

Humans have always left traces but this residue will endure far beyond us.
