Plastic Ocean
Adobe Illustrator // 2019
Personal project
Plastic. It is all around us. We now produce over 300 million tons of plastic each year. Every year 8 million tons of plastic enter the ocean. It’s estimated that by the year 2050, there could be more plastic in the ocean than fish by weight. Plastic pollution has a lethal impact on oceans, lands, climate, animals, and even humans. Yes, we eat, drink, breathe that plastic that we threw away. I’ve created these illustrations as a reminder to myself that I need to raise my awareness about the problem and learn how to live with plastic in a responsible way, that maximizes recycling and minimizes production. I hope they will also inspire you to take action. Swipe to see what would the ocean look like if we continue to close our eyes to the problem of plastic pollution.
