Early in the history of life, autotrophic organisms emerged, utilizing the chemical energy from oxygen-poor carbon or sulfur compounds to synthesize the necessary sugars to sustain themselves.

The series 'Autotrophs' revolves around this phenomenon and presents a sci-fi narrative exploring what the nascent beginnings might look like if the plastic floating in the oceans were to acquire its own matter and energy to create and sustain its own life. Becoming self-sustaining and giving rise to new life, much like the first life forms on Earth. Images of future living organisms. Brought to life via sunlight.
