Plastic is the avatar of global culture - ubiquitous and destructive. Barely 100 years old, it’s a miraculous substance; prehistoric organic matter transubstantiated by science into an essential component of modern life.
My Best Life honours the significance, and the duality of plastic. Discarded products and packaging in various stages of decay, resurrected for a brief posterity.
