The topic this week in my PhotoGroup is 'plastic'.
It's everywhere - littering the side of roads, heaped up in huge land-fill piles, drifting across the oceans and buried deep in forests. It threatens to consume us all and this is how I've interpreted the brief.
The plastic film threatens to engulf the face. It obscures and distorts its features, much as it does the natural landscape once we've carelessly discarded it. The plastic serves as a mask to our collective madness, a mask that one day may obliterate us.
These are not pretty pictures. They are not meant to be. Instead, the intention is to challenge and confront our complacency.
