A collection of textile art made from plastic waste washed up on Bali's beaches is exhibited during "Weaving The Ocean", which is running at Warin Lab Contemporary, until April 2.
The project was initiated by Ari Bayuaji, a Canada-based Indonesia-born artist, who got stuck on the island of Bali during the start of the global pandemic and witnessed the devastation of the local tourism industry and the environmental pollution despoiling the beaches.
The exhibition addresses pressing environmental and social issues -- the pollution of oceans, and the destruction of marine life and the island's natural beauty -- but through a conciliatory approach that endeavours to transform the "negative" into a "positive".
