Unpleasant Plastic is a photographic series exploring the hidden presence of plastic within domestic environments. Starting from everyday scenes, the project unfolds through a progressive magnification of the gaze – from familiar objects to microscopic plastic particles contaminating our most intimate spaces.
My self-portraits show the close relationship between our bodies and the objects in our homes. I often appear with minimal clothing, highlighting our physical vulnerability to a silent yet persistent pollution. My melancholic expression is meant to create empathy with the viewer, drawing their curiosity toward the deeper story behind each image.
Through a visual language that blends aesthetics and material research, the series questions the relationship between intimacy, contamination, and environmental responsibility. Unpleasant Plastic invites us to look more attentively at what we take for granted and to reflect on the fragility of our domestic ecosystem.
