Chris Jordan, a photographer from Seattle USA, is raising consciousness through his art of the far-reaching and destruction consequences of our modern habits.
“Running the Numbers” takes hard statistics and turns them into art that is highly creative but also thought-provoking.

His image “Gyre,” stands at 8 by 11 feet and Depicts 2.4 million pieces of plastic, equal to the estimated number of pounds of plastic pollution that enter the world’s oceans every hour. All of the plastic in this image was collected from the Pacific Ocean.

Looking closer at the image you can see the individual pieces of plastic and how it makes up the bigger picture.

You can see more of Chris Jordan’s work at his website and also purchase his book of photos online as well.
