From the back panel: "Shomei's images look just like glaciers, forests, deserts, and coves, but are bits of plastic drifting in the sea that have mingled with the carcasses of sea turtles, driftwood, seaweed, and seashells and washed ashore, drawing mysterious patterns on a glittering canvas of golden sand."
