Plastic Soil

Project details match catalog

About

I am growing plants in soil collected from different places and turning what we find inside that soil into physical sculptures that make invisible plastic pollution visible.

Impact

Microplastics are everywhere but most people never see them. This project turns an invisible environmental problem into something people can physically understand and remember.

Progress

The project can begin with soil samples from homes, roads, parks, and farms. The first milestone is a collection of samples and the first experimental sculpture.

Team

I want to combine research, technology, and visual storytelling instead of presenting environmental data as numbers alone. The project is designed to grow through experimentation.

Funding

No displayed figures preserved for this project.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
