With the impending doom of the Plasticene, not one surface of either land or sea is free from the plastic debris that permeates our planet. Within the aqueous ecologies, it is a slow drowning death beneath the surface of a soiled sea. Its imprisoned residents, strangled by polyethylene artifacts, persist in a constant struggle to survive. Some succumb to their pliant shackles while others, oblivious of the tiny shiny micro plastics, ingest them only to unwittingly pass them on at humanity’s dinner table.
Climate change is a now reality. We are caught in a perilous maelstrom for which our children will pay the price of this inconvenient truth. Many have ignored the inevitable; some have taken action and a few have turned to higher powers with prayer. Calling out into heaven’s void for help.
The Sisters of the Pleiades, celestial women exiled by Zeus to a star cluster over 400 light years away, heard the plea. Risking discovery they secretly returned to earth to save their beloved ocean.
Camouflaged beneath the Gyre of Garbage in the Pacific Ocean, hidden from surface dwellers by the floating plastics, keeping to themselves, they stealthily set about to upend the damage done by man made pollutants.
The proof of the seven sisters daring return is unveiled in this series of never before seen photographs. Illusionary truth of the discovery of the power of women to change the the world. A visual call to activism---our mission- our saving grace for the future of our children.
