Where is the most beautiful starry sky you have ever seen?

Is it the shining stars seen in childhood?

Or the vast sea of stars in the animation?

Is it a meteor falling in the northern European Aurora?

Or the dreamy night sky at the end of the highway in the southern hemisphere?

At photographer Benjamin von Wong

But there is another piece of enchanting beauty under the lens of

'Bright galaxy'

The Milky way is magnificent and brilliant, and even the universe is silent

Blind to the light of eyes, lost in the changing time and space

Looking up, will there be a star pointing to the way to come

Yes, you may have found it

This group of seemingly beautiful installation works of Art

Actually, it's all made of plastic cups

No matter how colorful the lights are

No matter how elegant the pose of the model is

Benjamin just wants to use this false beauty

Uncover the cruel and ugly truth of the real world

'We are surrounded by plastic garbage!'

According to the data published by the researchers

By 2050, those discarded into nature

Plastic waste will reach about 12 billion tons

The weight is about 35000 times that of the Empire State Building in New York

A port full of garbage

The average use time of plastic products is only 25 minutes

Time of natural degradation in the ocean

But it often takes decades to hundreds of years

A large number of marine animals died because of them

Marine animals injured by plastic garbage

When plastic particles that cannot be degraded

And polluted the water source in a new form

Back into our bodies

Non degradable plastic particles

Sucking milk tea with a straw is not enough

People who ordered new takeout again

But never aware and alert

Piles of abandoned straws on the beach

'We didn't even think twice,

There is no point in using plastic cups in a dining environment. '

In order to make people aware of the harm of disposable plastic pollution

Benjamin decided to build a 'world' by himself

Photographer Benjamin von Wong

He and volunteers in Singapore

18000 waste plastic cups were collected together

It took two days to work 14 hours a day

Clean one by one, connect them one by one, and then insert LED lights

The final device is named:

Plastic phobia plastikophobia

Whales with plastic bags in their stomachs

An exotic girl whose home is flooded with garbage and crying

Seabirds that can't fly, dolphins that lose their smiles

More than 30 plastic bags were found in the stomach of a whale stranded on a Norwegian beach.

The photos that went crazy on the Internet won a short attention

But it has never been able to touch the numb heart of modern people

But when they are surrounded by plastic garbage——

Maybe you can feel the pain and fear yourself?

The flickering 'Galaxy cave' attracts

Countless passers-by gathered and took selfies against this background

Happy when shooting, but worried when watching

Because once they go in

You will naturally realize:

'It's all plastic garbage. It's terrible!'

Because once they go in

You will naturally realize:

'It's all plastic garbage. It's terrible!'

He worked with Dell, an electronic brand

Use about 1.86 tons of recycled e-waste

Several large surreal sculptures have been built

#RethinkRecycleRevive

And the figure of 1.86 tons is exactly

The weight of e-waste produced per capita in the United States in a lifetime

He also recovered 170000 sticks

Disposable straw from Starbucks

It is woven after sorting according to color

Huge ocean and spray device

#strawpocalypse

Warm sunshine, dark green ocean

White spray, golden beach

The beautiful scenery is made up of ugly pollution sources

All the people who passed by were intoxicated

I can't help feeling ashamed and alert

And the most heartbreaking

Or the mermaids in the plastic sea

He picked up thousands of drink bottles

Filled the entire studio

Set up the camera, turn on the light, and after the shutter sound

In front of me is the mermaid dancing with the marine garbage

A harmonious and strange picture

#MermaidsHatePlastic

Mermaids roam in the sea of plastic

But life is little by little

Eaten by these 'killers' who live longer than humans

If someone uses less than one straw

Order less takeout and don't litter plastic bottles

Maybe we can save countless sea elves

'plastic problems are either out of sight, in the heart or everywhere, so that it becomes invisible. I want to use art to solve these two problems and create beautiful and unique things in environmental tragedy.'

But put down the camera again and again

Benjamin, who picks up garbage again and again, knows

Behind beauty is the unbearable weight of the ocean

Humans will not take the initiative to eat plastic

But when it is used without restraint and discarded at will

Become ubiquitous garbage

They will begin to 'eat' people

Don't let the blue ocean

Only white plastic spray can appear

Don't let the bright stars shine

It only exists in children's memories

Writing 'beauty'

Behind the works of art read as' shocking '

It's everything we're destroying

And human beings have nowhere to escape
