Artist Statement
The main theme and driving force behind my work is food and the waste that it creates. In the last two years, the leading source of waste on our planet was the packaging and wrappers that our food comes in. Food is an item that is sold, used, and thrown away every day by millions of people from all over our world. When people look at my image, I want them to not only think of plastic and the waste it creates, but also manufacturing processes as the packaging itself isn’t the only issue. The process to create the wrapping for food also adds on to the destruction plastic is having on the planet.
