Nets
Orna Hodara Hatzor
"Nets" is an installation composed from three large sheets of paper made from poured kozo poured pulp on a 80x180 mesh mould covered with fish nets. The kozo pulp was mixed with seaweeds and dyed with various blue textile pigments. A small ceramic shaped boat is placed on plastic crates with the latin statement; Quid Tum, that loosely means "so what", with the addition of a question mark - Quid Tum? = So What? Within the small boat is a collage of massacred individuals from around the world. The work "Nets" addresses the effect of overfishing around the world, that has been exploiting the diverse richness of the underwater life of our oceans for economic profits. The small boat signifies the endangered livelihoods and well being of indigenous fishermen, their families and their communities. The writing on the boat "Quid Tum?" with the hidden collage of slaughtered individuals, against the background of the nets, questions the unethical exploits of our oceans, which has become a norm.
