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.
On my recent visit to LA I had the opportunity to take some photos of the amazing Jimanekia Eborn. Jimanekia is a sex educator who specializes in working with people who have experienced trauma. She is on the team of More Than No and organizes Cabaret Consensual. And is an all around magical human in my opinion. Here are some photos of her.
