I have been working with the medium of plastic for the last seven years. Plastic represents the quality and complexion of time that we are living in. Presence of plastic itself raises debates for and against its uses in our daily lives. I, however, transcend the controversies revolving around it, taking the position of an observer and commentator, mesmerized by the unexplored characteristics and its inherent ‘beauties’. It would be interesting to see the aesthetic side of such a mundane material that we use and throw.

I work very spontaneously with the medium of plastic and try to see what direction my process taking me. I look at the areas of plastic’s use and areas of its abuse.

When the birds living in around the sea ingest plastic bags trapped in sea, thinking that they are colorful jelly fish, they suffocate themselves and perish. Plastic then becomes an object that obstructs ventilation and breathing. It becomes an object that suffocates.

Contemporary life has become so used to the presence of plastic that despite its adversary effects in our lives, we cannot do away with it. I convey this choking feeling created by plastic materials by covering me up using plastic sheets. Plastic suffocates me and renders me breathless. The video is an effort to convey the suffocation that I feel in plastic wraps.
