Plastic Portraits is a project that seeks to explore our relationship with plastics. People in this world interact with plastics on a daily basis. From single-use, disposable items, to medical and technological equipment that many of us find essential to our lives, plastic is so integrated that we often use and interact with it without being aware of it.
By photographing different people with the plastics they use daily, this project opens the door to thoughtfulness and discussion around the plastics in our lives. It raises awareness of the ubiquitous presence plastic has in our world and hopefully will spark individuals to make more thoughtful, informed decisions regarding their own plastic consumption.
When I was a kid, we would sometimes visit my great grandmother at her home in Shamokin, PA. Going back there for the first time as an adult was a very strange experience. Shamokin historically was a coal mining town. Now struggling to stay afloat in mostly abandoned.
