Cigarette Butts, MicroPlastics and Intestinal Blockage// Poster Design// 3D Design// Logo Design// 2023

I have found that the act of indiscriminately discarding cigarette butts is very common among smokers, making them the largest proportion of plastic waste in the world.

The massive emission of these cigarette butts leads to the deaths of a large number of marine organisms due to intestinal blockages caused by microplastics within the butts.

During interviews, I discovered that the majority of smokers are unaware that casually tossing cigarette butts can contribute to environmental degradation, and many do not realize that cigarette butts are non-biodegradable.

As a result, in this project, I have constructed visuals depicting the deaths caused by intestinal blockages due to the accumulation of microplastics, aiming to raise awareness in society regarding the issue of cigarette butt pollution.

我注意到,在许多吸烟者中,随手丢弃烟蒂的行为极为普遍。虽然这种举动看似微不足道,但实际上,烟蒂已经成为全球数量最多的塑料垃圾之一。

由于烟蒂中含有大量微塑料成分,它们在被丢弃后会随着雨水流入下水道,最终进入江河湖海,造成严重的水体污染。海洋生物误食这些含有微塑料的烟蒂后,极易因肠道堵塞而死亡,给生态系统带来了难以估量的损害。

在我进行的一系列采访中发现,许多吸烟者并不了解烟蒂所带来的环境问题。他们普遍认为烟蒂会自然降解,或认为其体积很小,不会造成实质性污染。这种信息的缺失和普遍的认知误区,使得烟蒂污染在社会中常常被忽视。

因此,在本次项目中,我以“烟蒂微塑料导致海洋生物死亡”为切入点,创作了一系列视觉图像。通过具象地呈现海洋生物因肠道堵塞而死亡的画面,我希望唤起观者对烟蒂污染问题的关注。
