The Trouble We're In

about.

Every day, millions of our plastics are thrown into the ocean, polluting it and harming ecosystems. This not only affects our animals, but directly affects us humans too. The fish lives in the plastic, eating it, which we then eat the fish we catch. We are essentially eating our own plastics. It's a cycle of destruction. I wanted to create this piece to convey this message; we're no different than the sea creatures. The anthropomorphic sea turtle head is meant to represent us, in a general setting such as a sushi restaurant. The bowl is represented as our earth, which is filled to the brim with plastics. The figure shown continues to eat the plastic, unaware that its directly harming them.

challenge.

The primary challenge in this project was to achieve a realistic stone texture that would evoke a tangible, physical presence while maintaining accurate human proportions and detail. Each “stone” had to be carefully placed and adjusted for visual harmony. The model also needed to be adapted for photography, requiring a precise balance of light and shadow to capture every texture and detail in the final images.
