Fiber artist and graphic designer Soraya Navia’s ocean conservation-focused exhibition invites us to reflect on the issue of pollution from the perspective of the marine animals directly impacted by plastic waste. These plastic bags are transformed into upcycled canvases that become both the foundation and inspiration for hand-embroidered portraits of underwater life.

This exhibition was made possible (in part) by the Queens Council on the Arts with public funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
