Brooklyn, NY based artist Alejandro Duran collects numerous bits of garbage that washes up from 50 nations on 6 continents whilst he walks the beaches of Sian Ka’an, a UNESCO tropical nature reserve along Mexico’s Carribean coast and the largest federally-protected reserve in Mexico, who arranges the trash into site-specific installations and names the landscape art “Washed Up”. The photo series portrays the reality of the global catastrophe of ocean pollution.
