Remnants
Bea Campbell
The Remnants emerged from the Ruins, a series of experimental biodegradable paper works created from pulped everyday detritus. Initially existing as individual fragments, the Ruins explored material transformation and impermanence. The original inspiration for the paper strips came from learning about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, reflecting on the persistence of waste and its impact on the environment. In the Remnants, 17 surviving pieces—each fully biodegradable—have been suspended together, forming a delicate, floating composition. Hung with jute loops, they shift with the air, casting intricate shadows that emphasize their ephemeral nature. This installation invites reflection on cycles of decay and renewal, challenging ideas of permanence and waste. Through their fragile yet intentional arrangement, the Remnants transforms discarded matter into a meditation on interconnectedness and resilience in defiance of the impact of waste in our oceans.
