About

This editorial illustration by Alex William, titled Microplastics: a macro-problem, addresses textile pollution and sustainability in fashion. The artwork depicts a white t-shirt hanging on a black hanger, partially submerged beneath the surface of turquoise ocean water. Floating microfiber strands and debris drift away from the dissolving hem of the garment into the water column. Above the waterline, a clear blue sky spans the upper portion of the composition alongside typography discussing the environmental impact. The piece combines flat digital illustration techniques with conceptual visual storytelling.
