Copepods

Digital print from cut paper collage, 2015-2024
As the largest group of plankton, Copepods provide a food source for much of the food chain. This image shows them swimming through a pipeline break, in this case, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, when an oil drilling rig exploded and sank, causing the largest oil spill in U.S. history. The explosion killed 11 workers and released an estimated 134 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico over 87 days much of it embedded in the small bodies of plankton and sediments on the ocean floor, making it virtually impossible to clean up.
