This large swarm of tuna are made from a polyethylene water trough from farmland in which traveled down the Kapoaiaia Stream, eventually ending up at the river mouth at Pungarehu.

The discarded industrial plastics I find on the beaches of South Taranaki are made to resist death and decay and sit outside of the natural cycles of life.
