Last month, I started a new art project called “Beach Trash Diffusion: Trash Photos.” My focus is on finding pieces of plastic pollution washed ashore. I attach the weathered plastic to the camera flash and use it as a diffuser to create impactful photographs.

It’s an exciting project that will further raise awareness of plastic pollution issues on our beautiful beaches here in Okinawa.

This beautiful blue hermit crab was found adapting with a Victoria’s Secret beauty supply cap. During the survey, we found three hermit crabs adapting with plastic. All three crabs made the switch into donated seashells.

Check out this reel below. Please consider subscribing to my YouTube channel.

Do you have any seashells collecting dust at home? If so, consider giving them back to nature.
