ARTIST STATEMENT
This project documents rubbish collected from the River Thames, photographing each item in a controlled, isolated setting to draw attention to the scale and texture of riverine waste.
Plastic bottles, bags, and other discarded items were gathered by hand and brought into a makeshift home studio, where a copy-stand-style setup was assembled in the living room.
Lit evenly and shot against clean backdrops, each object is presented without distraction, allowing its shape, damage, and material to speak for itself.
