Artist Statement

Plastic is a wide topic to represent in one image as it has many different meanings. Every second, we hear of animals who are injured by plastic waste or are eating plastic and dying. The paper crane symbolizes peace, love, and hope. I think our peace, love, and hope for Earth and animals are gone. The bag over the paper crane expresses how animals have difficulty living with all the plastics around the world; the animals have to survive within oceans polluted with garbage. I hope my work encourages people to think about the risks of this material and use plastic more carefully.
