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 first moved to NYC I knew 1 person (kind of) and that was Stan. Stan was a long time friend of a dear friend and when I moved here, I stayed in his apt for the first week until I could get settled in my first place. Thank you Stan for being so generous! It was great to reconnect and photograph you about 16 years after moving here!
