Primary Research- Working with the found object.

While I was taking a walk on the beach I found a cluster of seashells along the coastline.

Shells have always been seen as a remarkable object which possesses great significance in spheres of feminism, childbirth, prosperity, and rebirth.
Shells possess great significance in the religious sphere too as they are considered to be the voice of Buddha in the context of Buddhism.

Though the seashells which I had collected had lost their shine & lacquer due to acidification. The acidification had taken place due to the marine debris along the coastline which I had seen in a pretty significant amount along the seashore.

After making a sequence of all the objects that I had collected, I decided that the found object on which I’ll be working on would be Marine garbage whilst showing its harmful effects on seashells and other aquatic living beings.
