CREATIVE WORK
"World in a plastic Bag"
Inspirational & Concept: This creative work is inspired by the widespread use of plastic bags in contemporary Thailand and the visible plastic waste scattered along rivers and canals. These discarded plastics have transformed natural landscapes into polluted environments. The project reflects on how plastic gradually infiltrates and alters both nature and human living spaces.
Compositional Technique: The work consists of two 3D digital artworks. The first piece depicts a traditional plastic food bag wrapping around a tree. The part of the tree trapped inside the plastic bag has transformed into transparent plastic material, while the portion outside remains a living green tree. The second piece presents a house entirely wrapped in a plastic bag, with the structure itself turning into plastic material. These visual transformations emphasize the gradual absorption of plastic into all forms of existence.
Objectives: The objective of this work is to raise awareness of plastic pollution and its long-term consequences. It aims to provoke viewers to reflect on human negligence and its impact on nature and society.
Creative Result: The final outcome is a pair of 3D digital artworks that blend realism and symbolism, illustrating a future where plastic becomes inseparable from natural and human-made environments. Despite the bleak imagery, the work also conveys hope—suggesting that through responsible plastic use and proper waste management, we can still protect and restore our environment.
