The Earthwise IssueBritish fashion photographer Harley Weir has been photographing plastic since 2015, after a move to Peckham in south London opened her eyes to the urban rubbish crisis. “It was pretty much impossible to avoid,” Harley says. “It made me question my own consumption. Where is my rubbish going? Even though I’ve always hated waste, this was very worryingly the first time my eyes and ears had truly been opened to the debate.
So she decided to use her camera and began documenting the plastic waste around her, posting her images on Instagram with the hashtag #plasticneverdies. Her large format, extreme close ups of colourful plastic bags and containers marooned in their environment look more like abstract artworks than rubbish.
It was sad to see the beauty of Nigeria shrouded in plastic. If people saw the black lakes of plastic running through Makoko, they might think a little before reaching for the Evian. Indonesia was covered... really there’s a corner in every country that’s ruined, a lot of the most beautiful beaches in southern Italy are full of garbage. New York’s beaches are totally engulfed. It’s everywhere... I’m not really shocked to see trash anywhere at this point.
