Ocean Pollution (Single)
DESCRIPTION
“A picture is worth a thousand words.” This photograph demonstrates a minimalist approach to a unique perspective utilizing macro photography, plastic trash, and miniature figures. The challenge of this project was to see past everyday items and connect with your inner child. As a child, I loved to visit the beach to connect with nature and be mesmerized by the ocean. But simultaneously, seeing the human-made pollution littering the beach was upsetting, let alone deadly or dangerous to sea life and nature. My macro photography captures plastic in a compelling manner, which, in turn, will hopefully make you think the next time you drink from a plastic bottle.
