Mermaids with a Porpoise
Sally and Helen “washed up” on the shores of Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia and Runswick Bay in Yorkshire, England, as reclaimed waste mermaids to highlight the amount of plastic waste in the sea for World Ocean Day 2023.
You’d need 30 of Sally’s tail - or 42 of Helen’s tail - to mirror the amount of plastic that ends up in the ocean every second. Every second!
The mermaid outfits took over 300 hours to create using reclaimed waste such as plastic bottles, balloons, lids, coffee pods, medicine blister packs, foam mats and broken toys.
The mermaids were featured in media including Channel 10 News, Channel 7 News, BBC News and The Times.
And they’ve been on tour at festivals, events and workshops all over Sydney and Yorkshire.
