This was a response to the increasing levels of plastic rubbish on the beaches of Kenya. It involved walking up and down the beach hunting down and spearing plastic with a metal pole. Having completed the length of the beach I would then plant the pole in the sand as a totem for passers by to see.

I felt that collecting all the rubbish on one pole would make the quantity of plastic more visible . I was also aware that as a European collecting rubbish on a Kenyan beach I was performing an unusual role. I hoped that my action would cause onlookers to question their own personal responsibility as both tourists and locals would wonder why I was doing it.

The project culminated with the installation of a public bin on the beachfront.
