Every day, I rewatch the process of how from a single plastic, I became a blue swimsuit made out of polyester. The preoccupation in my mind of the shredded plastic bottles, the endless yelling that I heard from my fellow friends and the pain that I felt while I was wrapped up in cellophane. Where am I going? in what country? what universe I’m going into? I can still hear the squeaking seperations between the clear and coloured plastic bottles.
