In his series Murmurations - Ephemeral plastic sculptures, Alain looked to the plastic bag as the starting point of this project. It is the quintessential consumer object : it is made in a few seconds, its use only lasts a handful  minutes however it will forever remain on our planet.

Through his travels, Alain noticed that plastic bags are everywhere in nature and like birds, these bags migrate. Plastics are also present in large quantities in the air we breathe. Alain used popular imagery, that of the flock of birds to better plunge the viewer in the graphic turmoil. The title Murmurations derives from the English language. It designates the phenomenon of flocks of starlings. In French the verb murmurer means to whisper. And, as with a whisper, one must get closer to understand the image.
