plastic pollution

This work deals with the environmental pollution caused by us humans and our plastic waste in urban areas and was created at the same time as the work Oneness.

Accordingly, the designer has concentrated on single-use plastic, specifically garbage bags, fruit and vegetable bags; everything that is unnecessary and ends up in the environment to a large extent.

The material comes from the plastic collection from friends and her own household. She treated the bags with purple and white ink, let everything dry crumpled and digitized the results, then edited the results digitally.

The collection primarily takes up the topic of urban space in connection with single-use plastic, but is still intended to convey wearability and lightness. The crumpled look, which was achieved through smocking and ironing, immediately reminds one of crumpled bags.
