DESCRIPTION
The world is full of Plastic waste.
We all know about this, but we continue to use it in everyday life, although biodegradable packaging materials are being actively introduced.
I remember that in my Soviet childhood there was very little plastic, my grandmother washed plastic bags so that they could be reused.
Boxes and small containers were stored for later packaging.
Visually, my project is oomage to the artist Giorgio Morandi. All his life, he painted still lifes and used the same improvised, everyday objects - tin cans, ceramic dishes, dried flowers. Today, plastic is always at hand.
For several years I have been collecting this props - plastic disposable dishes, cardboard packaging, polystyrene, to make my series of still lifes
