Plastic Bags

• Photographer
  Xiaohan Chen, United States

Each image in the series is composed of more than thirty
photos. I too long-exposure photos of different plastic bags,
and connected them into a large one. We generate a lot of
plastic waste in our daily life. Usually they are used for a short
period of time, and then thrown away permanently. Plastic is
difficult and costly to recycle. I take advantage of them with the
short usage span, and make art out of trash. Sustainable plastic
bags made by plants have been invented recently, and I hope
they can be used widely to substitute the traditional plastic bag
soon.
