"A picture is worth a thousand words." This photo takes a minimalist approach, showcasing a unique perspective through macro photography that features trash and miniature animals. Imagine how sad it would be for a penguin to encounter trash floating in the ocean, only to jump on it and drift away from its family. Wouldn't the world be a better place without ocean trash? The challenge of this project was to look beyond an ordinary plastic bottle and reconnect with your inner child. My goal is to demonstrate how familiar trash can inspire creativity and encourage your imagination to soar.
