Again giving the audience a deeper insight into his own experience of his works and experience of the world, Luke has developed this completely white piece using recycled objects from his daily life.

Sushi is a favourite lunchtime option for Luke, and the packaging and utensil waste produced creates an extremely interesting textural surface, something Luke began to collect in order to incorporate into his work. Environmentally conscious, Luke often incorporates found and recycled objects onto the surfaces of his paintings, and this piece serves to comment on the damage single use plastics and utensils can have on our marine life, the jumble of chopsticks and wrapping mimicking seaweed or coral, a haven for soy sauce fish bottles to swim.

This work is completely white, the surface covered in overlapping chopsticks and their wrappers. Small soy sauce fish bottles seemingly swim between segments of the jumble.
