It was interesting to discover that domestic waste is lying on the seabed and to create a work of art from it. I'm surprised people throw things like this into the sea. I think inclusive events are a good way to bring people from all over the world together. It is important to remove the boundaries between disabled and non-disabled people and to spend time together. Everyone involved in the environmental campaign interacted positively as one team, everything was very harmonious.”
