Plastic vs Human
We live in a prosperous disposable society and in our images we like to show what is still possible with waste. Our work emphasises the amount of plastic that has been used and left upon the Earth. Recycling and up-cycling are one of the best ways to make a positive impact on the world we live in. Altogether, our photographs portray the importance of protecting our earth against plastic pollution.
To emphasise the plastic pollution on Earth, we have made a photo series in which the battle between nature and plastic is central. This was inspired by the images of animals that have become entangled in plastic. In this series, we have placed people within this battle. For example, our series ‘Plastic vs Human’ shows a man drowning in plastic balls.
Our message: time is running out, plastic is a major problem for our planet and our future. Do not let these images become a reality!
