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.
At the beginning of October I travelled with Bash the Trash to Vancouver to play a series of shows for the Vancouver Recital Society. Right before one of our performances, we took these fun, quick shots (in the school gym) and put them together for your viewing pleasure! Below are also a few shots of some of our instruments for good measure.
