Plastic Britain

'Plastic Britain' is a piece that speculates on a extreme outcome from our lack of action towards preventing global warming. Global warming has resulted in the dramatic rise in sea levels across the world, and Britain's shorelines will not be safe as they continue to rise. The drawing is set on the shore of 'The Wash', as this area will suffer dearly from flooding in the future. It is the site where King John lost his crown. Whilst attempting to cross The Wash's marshlands, the tide suddenly came in, sending many of his valuable belongings into the water, never to be recovered. His reign was not met with support from the British public and is often portrayed as a greedy villain, most famously in Disney's 'Robin Hood'. Our negligence towards the planet will result in an outcome like this drawing suggests. The planet beyond recovery.
