HUMAN WASTE II / DESECHO HUMANO II

In this second part of the Trilogy series of "Human Waste” contemplates how human waste in our oceans is affecting sentient beings in our oceanic ecosystem. The photographs are based on real cases of animals trapped in plastics and human waste found in the ocean. By means of the rhetorical figure of prosopopoeia, inverse in this case, this panorama is presented visually, equating animals and human beings to enable the deepest connection with this reality. It is already scientifically established that animal emotions and, therefore, animal suffering, is comparable to the human one. We are actively contributing to their distress and agonising death with our waste thrown into our oceans. Our unconscious behaviour has a great cost to the planet and ourselves. The micro-particles of plastic are now fixed in the food and organs of the animals and thus in our own too. There is less and less contaminated water on earth. We are interdependent, we are killing ourselves. https://beatrizglezsa.com/human-waste-ii
