PLASTIC MUST DIE
I had the privilege to collaborate on the YouTube Original Series Plastic Must Die, a global anthology project conceived by Kaz Firpo and Mackenzie Sheppard. Designed to keep audiences engaged with a critical environmental message, the series brings together diverse creative voices from around the world.
Our contribution focuses on the life cycle of a single plastic bottle, brought to life through an absurd collage of contemporary and futuristic scenes. The narrative highlights a haunting reality: plastic will become humanity's definitive artifact, permanently outlasting its creators.
