Two photographic series that explore the Transformation from Plastic Bottles to textiles

I created two series of photos exploring The transformation of plastic bottles one explores the different views and perspectives of the plastic bottle form encouraging the viewer to look from different different perspectives and angles and see the form differently and the other series of in-camera double exposure using the plastic bottles and transformed textile as a lens. Both series were developed sustainably using developer made out of coffee and delve into the mesmerizing transformation of plastic bottles into sheer curtain textiles. The intricate process unfolds as the bottles are meticulously shredded, repurposed into delicate strings, and skillfully woven into textiles. Both series explores and demonstrates that PET bottles should be considered as a valuable resource not waste.

PET plastic is favored globally due to its exceptional performance qualities and high recyclability. When heated and molded, PET can take on numerous forms, with plastic water and beverage bottles being the most recognizable. These bottles provide a hygienic, safe, and convenient way to package drinks.
The low melting point of PET, in comparison to materials like glass and aluminum, allows for easy and sustainable recycling, creating a closed loop system. Additionally, PET bottles can be repurposed into a wide range of products, including fabric for curtains, demonstrating their value beyond being discarded as waste. By exploring the various forms of these bottles shadow,silhouette and the processes involved in transforming PET bottles from shredded plastic to final products, it becomes evident that these bottles should be considered a valuable resource with immense potential.

Through the lens of these images, we are enticed to explore how the view of nature is altered when observed through this unusual material. The interplay of light and shadow, as the silhouettes of the bottles are layered with scenic views of the environment, creates a thought-provoking and visually compelling narrative. Encouraging us to reflect on the impact of our consumption habits, this series serves as a poignant reminder of the beauty that can emerge from sustainability and creativity intert.
