Blue Bottles
Upon returning from a long day at work, protagonist, Roya leaves friend, Ava, to prepare dinner. It is here where we first see the abundance of plastic consumed by the everyday human in grocery form.
Roya decides to run a bath while Ava cooks and but soon falls asleep unintentionally while lying in the bathtub - Ava unaware.
Roya then sinks into a dream that quickly turns into an inescapable nightmare where plastic begins to torture her. The torture is a reflection of what happens to marine life every day due to the large amounts of single use plastic pollution.
Roya mimics the movements of her nightmare in the bathtub putting her life at risk.
Will she make it out of her nightmare?
