EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating impact of plastic waste on our environment. In Jenjarom, Kuala Langat, Malaysia, an illegal recycling factory is seen surrounded by a towering pile of discarded plastics. The image, taken on October 14th, 2018 by Lai Seng Sin for Reuters Images, serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need to address our global plastic crisis. The symmetrical composition draws attention to the sheer magnitude of the problem as the rubbish extends far into the distance. The reflection in the water below further emphasizes this overwhelming sight and highlights how these materials can infiltrate even our precious natural resources. With no people present in the frame, this photograph focuses solely on nature's struggle against human negligence. The clear blue sky above contrasts sharply with the unnatural presence of plastic waste below, serving as a poignant reminder that we are responsible for protecting our planet. While it may be disheartening to witness such scenes of environmental degradation, this image also calls for creative solutions and increased recycling efforts. It reminds us that we have an opportunity to make positive change and find innovative ways to reduce plastic consumption and properly dispose of waste. In conclusion, Lai Seng Sin's photograph encapsulates both despair and hope – despair at witnessing such extensive pollution but hope that through collective action we can restore balance between humanity and nature.
