My intentions with this project are to present the impacts humans have on the environment on a micro scale – selectively photographing small pieces of waste that I either create myself or that I find.

Describe which themes, artists, approaches, skills and photographic processes/ techniques inspired you the most and why.

I am strongly inspired by the works of Mandy Barker, who takes a biological approach in her work. In the style of scientific illustrations and microscope images, she uses small bits of plastic waste to explain the damage we create, even on a microscopic scale.

I want to present my imagery in the style of biological illustrations by scientists such as Ernst Haeckel.

Another inspiration is Keith Arnatt.
