Dutch artist Thirza Schaap created miniature sculptures using plastic waste she found on Cape Town's beach during her walks. The sculptures were originally larger and photographed for the book "Plastic Ocean". Schaap enjoys working outside and embraces the unpredictability of nature. The limited edition of the book includes a signed copy, a handmade miniature sculpture, and a certificate of authenticity. The sculptures and book highlight the clash between minimal aesthetics and ecological issues. Each sculpture questions consumption and values. Schaap describes the result as both quirky and profound.
