Plastic Humanity – A Visual Exploration of Microplastics

As a personal project, I wanted to experiment with Adobe Firefly AI to create something visually striking yet thought-provoking. I explored the idea of humans made of plastic, a metaphor for the microplastics we unknowingly consume and how they slowly become a part of us.

Using AI-generated imagery, I designed surreal human figures that looked as if they were molded from plastic—shiny, artificial, and strangely lifeless. To push the concept further, I created a short video in After Effects, adding atmospheric sounds and calming music to contrast with the unsettling visuals. The result? A piece that feels eerily peaceful, yet underneath, it portrays a slow-moving apocalypse—a future where we’re no longer just consumers of plastic, but plastic ourselves.

This project was an exploration of both AI-assisted creativity and storytelling through visuals and sound, blending technology and concept-driven art to create something that sparks reflection.
