This body, with its pale make-up and voluminous costume made from plastic littering, creates a persona macabre representing the alarming situation in our oceans – plastic pollution. With her conspicuous appearance she claims time, space and a motif to exist, representing contemporary mythology in fear of the apocalypse

Queen är en böld på vårt samhälle som tvingar oss att möta det vi lämnar bakom oss – Plastic Oceans
Likt en hemlös flykting, tvingas denna fängslade kropp överleva, under oöverskådlig tid, utan rike och utan en krona – Without Royalty

The Queen is a boil on our society that forces us to face what we leave behind – Plastic Oceans
Like a homeless refugee, this imprisoned body must survive, for an indefinite period of time , without kingdom and without a crown – Without Royalty
