This photo series explores the tension between nature and humanity’s plastic consumption, visualizing its pervasive environmental impact. Plastic, often overlooked in urban spaces, becomes alien in rural landscapes, revealing its intrusion into the natural world. Set on The Ridge in Winchelsea, East Sussex, the project unfolds against a winter landscape of withered plants, shingle deserts and the distant presence of Dungeness Nuclear Power Station. Still life sculptures and photographs, shaped with studio flashes and coloured gels, explore plastic’s material allure: reflective, translucent, malleable, while underscoring its toxic permanence.

Nature Morte translates as “dead nature.” By blending plastic with organic elements, the work reflects its subtle infiltration of nature, creating surreal images that are visually compelling and cautionary. Through these images, the work couples an aesthetic fascination with the material itself with a warning of its toxicity and danger – a visual representation of what the landscape could look like if plastic were allowed to take over.
