Seas and oceans are increasingly polluted with discarded plastic from careless consumers. Habitats are destroyed and wildlife is trapped, choked, and often killed by plastic in the food they unwittingly consume. The result of throwing away our plastic waste rather than recycling it has considerably more impact on the environment than merely finding its resting place in landfill.

 

Through the water we drink and food we ingest, we are unaware of the toxins and micro plastics we invite into our bodies. The aim of this project is to increase awareness and inform the public of the consequences related to the unrestricted disposal of plastic waste. My work seeks to provide a narrative highlighting the implications of plastic pollution. Just because we don’t see, feel, or taste it, it does not mean that it isn’t there.
