Following on from my previous post I have decided to do a separate explanation of the series Form-A Different View which is a photographic exploration of transformation, perception, and possibility. This series follows the journey of a simple plastic bottle, capturing its metamorphosis from waste to woven textiles. The series explores the stages of the process, from the bottle’s initial form to its shadow, reflection, and eventual transformation into shredded plastic, threads, and finally, fabric and using both the negative a positive view of the image to suggest and inforce the use of a different perspective to be considered.

At its core, Form-A Different View challenges the conventional perspective of plastic bottles as mere waste, instead inviting viewers to see them as valuable resources with untapped potential. PET plastic has the potential to be recyled and reused in many ways .The series is a visual narrative that encourages a reimagining of our relationship with everyday objects, particularly those often discarded without a second thought.

By focusing on the different stages of the plastic bottle’s transformation, the series underscores the idea that our perspectives shape our understanding of the world. As Oscar Wilde famously remarked, “The optimist sees the donut, the pessimist sees the hole.” Similarly, this series suggests that by shifting our focus, we can uncover new opportunities in what might otherwise be seen as problems.

Through these images, I aim to inspire a conversation about sustainability, resourcefulness, and the power of perspective. Form- A Different View is not just about the transformation of a plastic bottle into textiles; it’s about transforming the way we think about consumption, waste, and the potential for renewal in our everyday lives.

NB: I am am a photographic artist and do not to claim to have a scientific background though I do have a very curious and inquistive mind and can see the bigger picture from both the negative a postive perspective. I really enjoy exploring ideas objectively and concepts visually to gain a better understanding of issues that I am passionate about . I am keen to learn more and find solutions that are sustainable.
