The cotton rope represents the ocean’s currents and the milk cotton represents the ocean’s foam. The acrylic yarn represents the plastic pollution that harms the ocean. The three materials are woven together to create a stunning visual representation of the ocean’s ecosystem.

The Concept Behind “Depth Woven”

At the heart of “Depth Woven” is Julia Casinillo’s fascination with the ocean and its inhabitants. As a photographer and artist, she has always been drawn to the beauty and complexity of the marine world. Her work often explores the relationship between humans and the environment, and “Depth Woven” is no exception.
