The inspiration for "Waves and Nurdles" is quite simple. It stems from the unique and ever-changing patterns in nature and water. The nurdles are set on the beach because that's where A Greener Future held many cleanups and found them, alongside other bits of plastic, film, foam, glass, and all kinds of items. "Waves and Nurdles", in a way, was my way of illustrating the work of A Greener Future and all the amazing volunteers who came together to help clean up Toronto's beaches and parks and remove thousands of items from our land and aquatic ecosystems. Big waves in climate action come from collectivity.
