Plastic, one enemy?

A plate, a fish or a heart: all filled with plastic, to remind us that we are eating it.

Simplicity is the key to this series, betting on the simple and appealing. Use simple materials and, with these materials, create images, also simple, but that leave us thinking. This is what happens when we see a fish pouring pieces of plastic, a plate of spaghetti that is not, or a fried egg made of lids. Everything addresses the same idea: the ingestion of plastic microparticles that are already part of the diet of animals and humans.
In addition to the environmental problem generated by plastic that has been going on for years, today we live the pandemic problem, the use of the disposable mask that is not having the best ending, ending up on the floor and should end up in the sea too. The problem is huge, millions of masks are used daily, which is why I created an image alluding to the "weight of the mask".
