PROJECT

ARCTIC PLASTIC

2025 – Norway – Above the Arctic Circle
Plastic pollution challenges the myth of untouched Arctic wilderness. Along Norway’s northern coasts, plastic waste, ghost nets, and trawl floats accumulate on remote shores, releasing toxic substances and threatening life – marine and human. Since 2017, the NGO In The Same Boat has sailed these fjords, leading volunteer expeditions to remove marine litter and document its origins.

As a photographer and sailor, I joined their missions to witness and document both the environmental impact and the human side of this work — exploring the motivations that drive people to spend months at sea collecting trash. The story also touches on broader issues: overfishing, weak waste regulations, and the paradox of a nation that promotes sustainability and pristine nature while making those who clean the coastlines pay to dispose of what they collect.

The project explores how young volunteers transform climate anxiety into concrete action, restoring hope and a sense of community in the face of a global crisis.

This expedition was just the beginning of a broader exploration—of responsibility, care, and the way we choose to inhabit the planet.

You can read the stories and see some images in Logbook, my newsletter.
