Some may like plastic bags for their convenience, while others reject them for their environmental impact. Kresek, the title of this wordless comic book, is the rustling of plastic bags in Bahasa Indonesia. By giving plastic bags faces and personalities, the book reimagines them as characters and follows their everyday journeys. Through these playful narratives, the work observes the subtle ways plastic bags are used, handled, and embedded within daily life and culture. While entertaining, it also invites a more reflective consideration of the plastic bag’s presence, encouraging viewers to rethink its role within contemporary society.
