Studies show that every year, 100-140 thousand tons of micro plastic, originating from car tires, pile up in our environment. These particles can now already be found inside animals and also humans and are very harmful to the body and the environment. Mirco plastic deriving from car tires is the number one source of micro plastic, with far distance to the second biggest source.

When I went on a roadtrip in April, to get a friends car from Berlin to Mallorca, I couldn’t help but recognize not only pieces of but whole car tires laying around in the most random places, being overgrown and almost act as part of nature. They were the perfect analogy as to how humans are leaving their traces on the environment and how industrial and ecological will adapt but never combine. Just like the imprint humans are leaving on nature I used car tyre imprints to delevop the print designs. Through colourways and organic shapes I focused on combing the industrial with the natural.
