A provocative illustration project addressing marine pollution through the everyday reality of hermit crabs, highlighting how environmental imbalance reshapes natural behaviors.

The concept emerged from observing how hermit crabs, often lacking available shells, increasingly adopt discarded waste as alternative protection. This contrast between necessity and pollution became the central narrative, transforming debris into functional yet unsettling substitutes.

The visual language mimics a game-style inventory interface, presenting a hermit crab experimenting with multiple options. Arranged like a selection menu, various types of marine litter replace traditional shells, reinforcing the abundance of waste and emphasizing the absurdity of adaptation within a polluted ecosystem.
