Rubbish Island

  • Jasmin Brown
Rubbish Island brings to light the neglected Thilafushi island which is located in the stunning Maldives in the Indian Ocean. Each tourist who visits the Maldives create 3.5kg of waste per day, which contributes to the 330 tons of waste dumped on Thilafushi everyday.
Rubbish Island is a set of three print pieces, communicating the topic at a tourism fair. They explore the issue of tourism waste, making tourists aware of the impact on the environment, highlighting what happens to their waste once they leave their holiday destination, leaving behind a spoiled paradise.
