Sea Silos
A data contemplation of container shipping and the invisible machinery of globalisation.
About 90% of everything we own and use has, at some point, travelled to us by container ship. Sea Silos looks behind that fact and at the industrial system that quietly feeds, clothes, warms and supplies modern life.
The work was built around the Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit, the standard shipping container that became one of the single greatest drivers of globalisation. It reframed the sea not as scenery but as infrastructure: a highway for migration, trade, extraction and hyper-industrial scale.
Rather than explain shipping through infographics, the project aimed to create a slower, more contemplative encounter with the data. Public logistics information was translated into generative visual form so the scale of fuel burn, freight movement and planetary circulation could feel physical again.
