Every action we take leaves a mark on the world. But today, systems of extraction, production and consumption present a ‘clean’ facade of seamless efficiency that renders many of these marks invisible. While it is impossible (and probably unwise) to completely detach ourselves from these systems, we still have the agency to act consciously.

This piece is a contemplation on accountability. What would we say if we were placed face-to-face with the creatures and ecosystems affected by our actions? 

Accountability was selected for SharkFest UK’s 2018 Calendar to raise funds and awareness while promoting positivity, cooperation and active participation in shark conservation.
