Photography crosses many barriers because it is devoid of language. Words can not always be used to illuminate a point whether it be due to a language barrier, or an inadequate understanding of the vocabulary and lingo. Photographs are utilized in a multitude of ways because words cant grasp what the image shows us.
Chris manipulates photographs of individual pieces of plastic in Photoshop until he finally creates a larger image composed of smaller photographs. He explains his work: "Statistics can feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or 32,000 breast augmentation surgeries in the U.S. every month. This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs. Employing themes such as the near versus the far, and the one versus the many, I hope to raise some questions about the roles and responsibilities we each play as individuals in a collective that is increasingly enormous, incomprehensible, and overwhelming."
Here is another example of his work standing at 60 X 60 inches. It pictures 28,000 42-gallon barrels of oil which is the amount used every 2 minutes in the United States. Jordan asserts this is equal to the flow of a medium sized river.

Take statistics and facts for example. Can the human mind really grasp how much 2.4 MILLION is? Renowned photographer Chris Jordan helps us with what words can not describe. This photograph depicts the 2.4 million pounds of plastic that enter our world's oceans every hour. It stands 8 feet tall and 11 Feet wide and still it appears as a bunch of small specks!
