And about his anthropomorphic man: I collected plastic juice straws from the coast of Bahrain over a period of three years, and formed marine creatures from them; As a symbol to clarify its impact on the marine environment, and I dissolved it by suggesting a marine creature such as jellyfish or lobster, as a sign of distorted marine creatures that came out of the seabed to land to address humans and ask them “Why did that happen!”
