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.
Harmony is a dancer and movement teacher NB Movement. They create workshops made for non-binary people with no dance background to explore their authentic movement.
When they came to my studio last month, with a playlist in-hand, a fun collaboration ensued! Harmony moved to the music and I moved and shot based on what they would do. Occasionally I'd ask Harmony to go back to a previous movement and hold it again.
It was a super organic and relaxing process!
