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.
In April, musician Ayelet Rose Gottlieb and I had a session in my home studio. The idea that she wanted to go for was that she is a musician and a mother, and how those two things intersect. One of my favorite parts of the session was hearing her daughter sing along to "All You Need is Love", in tune of course.
Here are a few selections from that session.
