microplastic

Description

Microplastics are the minute fragments born from the ravenous grinder of consumer society. They drift across oceans, infiltrate ecosystems unnoticed, and eventually mingle into the dressing on our salads. Invisible in presence, their culpability quietly erodes our health. Evading the rituals of recycling, they reincarnate as endless little fiends. Ever proliferating, unclaimed by any custodian, they are the ghosts of modern civilization.

Definitions

• Invisible powders of poison milled by the machinery of consumer society.
• Spectral fragments drifting in oceans, whose final destination is a living creature’s gut.
• Secret rebels eluding the ritual of recycling, yet proudly hailed as ‘resources’.
• Little devils sneaking into dinner plates, giving salads a dry, accusing stare.
• An infinite multiplying form cast outside the myth of circular economy.
• Unseen and unaccountable, dust-like corpses that no one bothers to sweep.
• Witnesses to perpetual environmental debt, not time capsules for future generations.
• Gambling chips for our health, slipping in with every sip of water.
• The final gasp of plastic products, their last desperate struggle.
• Micro parasites that fatten scientists’ grants and feed on consumer indifference.
