Brief but Detailed Description:

Chris Jordan's "Midway: Message from the Gyre" is a photographic and documentary project that powerfully exposes the devastating impact of plastic pollution on albatrosses on Midway Atoll. Jordan's stark photographs document the carcasses of chicks filled with ingested plastic, revealing the lethal consequences of ocean pollution and consumerism. The accompanying film expands on this narrative, exploring the broader ecological crisis. The work serves as both an ecological witness and a social critique, prompting viewers to confront the realities of plastic waste and reflect on their role in the problem.
