“Whatever plastic is around us is not easily disposed of. I want to give the message through the work that we should use as little plastic as possible, recycle it and save our environment,” Nawab says.
About how the idea came, Nawab says that she is constantly watching many types of videos on social media. She said that many times plastic is found in the stomachs of fish and birds, which is not good for our future generation and the earth. “ So, I want to give a message to the people to use less plastic and whatever plastic you use, recycle it and use it,” she added. Besides, Nawab has made many paintings with a save-environment message .
