Plastic Portraits
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.
The Open Photo Project (2015-Present)
The Open Photo Project offers an intimate look into the lives of consensually non-monogamous people.
By showing their private moments, domestic details and daily life, it offers a look at the uniqueness of human relationships.
It is an invitation to re-examine preconceived notions of successful, sustainable, and healthy romantic love.
By presenting a combination of photography, audio interviews and text, The Open Photo Project seeks to de-stigmatize consensually non-monogamous relationships by cultivating understanding and respect. It seeks to uphold the radical notion that to love and be loved is a human right and should be available to all.
