Pakistani artist Khalil Chishtee creates life-sized sculptures out of trash bags, unused grocery bags and plastic sheets.

“For the first time I have used trash or recycled bags as my medium because no matter how many times I recycle plastic, it will remain plastic only, it will not change, so why do we change after being replaced?"

"We change names, religion, language and even emotions. Why can't we also remain ‘human beings' that we essentially are?”

“We live in the age of plastic, and plastic bags are the most ordinary form of this material. It goes back to the Sufi approach of my upbringing where worth does not depend on what you inherit, it depends on who you are. Anything made out of bronze, wood, stone or painted on a canvas carries the appearance of being worth looking at, because of its history, but if one can change the impact of that history, one is an artist.”
