Poison in Disguise, Miriam Noor, 2020
Expressing myself through the works of photography and playing alto sax is breathtaking. The feeling I get when having a camera or an instrument in my hands is unbelievable. The opportunity to showcase how I'm feeling through photographs and music are two things I value most. For this project, I wanted to explore environmental issues through creative food photography. For some time now, sea creatures as well as other animals, have been deeply affected by the toxicity of plastic in their homes. I believe that we are the ones to blame for what is happening to animals’ habitats because of how irresponsible we are with our everyday products. Like us, animals are only trying to live their lives but we are making it harder for them to do so with things such as plastic and other toxic garbage. What would our lives look like if we switched places with animals? Would we care more if we were the one who were deceived into eating plastic?
