Corexit 9527

Corexit 9527 is based in a post post apocalyptic future where all life is fused with the machine with the exception of the humble shrimp. Its the tale of consumption as our shrimp is taken from the deep sea, processed for energy and then used to obtain more shrimp. In this lifeless future we are reminded of the empty endless hunger that fuels so much.
