18 karya seni tenun tangan ini terinspirasi oleh oleh lautan yang menghubungkan Australia dan Indonesia. Karya ini pun dibuat sebagai platform untuk mengeksplorasi berbagai tantangan lingkungan hidup, termasuk pengurangan limbah plastik dan konservasi laut. “Menampilkan kawanan ikan, penyu laut, dan keluarga pari manta raksasa, koleksi karya seni ini tidak hanya memberdayakan sampah plastik, tetapi juga mendorong diskusi tentang bagaimana kita semua dapat berkontribusi bagi pengurangan sampah plastik dan menjadi pelindung lautan yang lebih baik,” kata Duta Besar Australia untuk Indonesia, Penny Williams PSM.
