A Cuttley Festivus (2022)
By Elizabeth Solich, oil on canvas, recycled materials.
Unlike their squid and octopus cousins, baby cuttlefish are already highly developed and independent straight from hatching. Like their parents, they will leave the breeding grounds, although they return a year or so later to the same stage on which they were born to decorate a big Christmas Tree together. Cuttlefish know that tinsel and glitter can end up in the sea, potentially harming their brothers and sisters. Microplastics, which include beads, fibres and fragments like glitter, are a globally significant environmental pollutant.
