Beautiful Photos Of The Ocean’S Deadly Plastic

Initially, I was interested in collecting natural objects,
. . . but I began to notice there was more and more man-made debris amongst them.

The intention of my work is to visually attract the viewer to the image and
. . . for them to question what it represents.

One image is of six layers of nurdles, the small plastic pellets that are melted and molded into everything from water bottles to clothing, but often escape the production process and are washed out to sea.

Another image is a composition of plastic turtles that washed ashore in the U.K. 15 years after they were dumped into the ocean in an enormous 1992 bath toy spill. Other pieces in the series focus on translucent trash, red trash, burned trash, and trash that was half-eaten by animals.

Do we eat fish . . . that eat plastic?
