I've spent 5 years creating this project called "Tiny Wasteland." The series features miniature figures placed next to everyday objects in order to create the illusion of microscopic worlds. Usually, I use food and trash in my setups and try to reflect on our world's issues, so I magnify these problems in the pictures.
I'm actually a food photographer, so the whole idea came from there. I've made about 200 pictures already from this tiny world; the rest you can find on my Instagram page.

When I was a child, I absolutely loved The Borrower books... they were just the thing to delight a kid... tiny people using human scale objects in clever ways... going to sea in a tea kettle... flying in a berry basket balloon. These are made of the same magic.
Trash(Ure) Of The Forest
My neighbor has been flipping lit cigarettes over my fence... again, what is wrong with people?
People that litter should be criminally charged, fined, and forced to do trash pickup. It's sad people can't be bothered to put trash where it belongs instead of just tossing it down wherever they're at that moment.
Throwing lit cigarettes is a new level of awful... wildfire anyone? I used to keep a section of remote lakefront clean... the only way to get there was to walk. It was constantly polluted by fishermen... lures, hooks, line, not to mention butts, condoms and liquor bottles from either the fishers or the kids. I used to marvel that these "outdoorsmen" would treat their world like that.

When we went BBQing at a not so far grilling place in the late 1970s/early 1980s we always took Tupperware containers with us and also Tupperware dishes with our food inside, and after we´d eaten our father put the burned down coal into the garbage containers that had been put up there for that reason, but some people did not do that and threw their garbage everywhere, so somewhen back in the middle of the 1980s they closed down that grilling place for the public, I found that very sad. But our mom bought an electric grill for the balcony then, so we could grill our meat or vegetables at home then. I´ve been a veggie since 1985 yet anyway, but mom also grilled sweet corn and other vegetables, extra for me.

They need more jelly! I am afraid they'll fall on stuff sticking up from the surface...

I love the detail on this one...I've already made up stories for every character.

It reminds me the work of an japanese artist called Tatsuya Tanaka, you can find him os instagram, he posts pics exploring the miniature world like this everyday
Thank you very much for the tip, I googled and found the artist on IG and follow him now: https://www.instagram.com/tanaka_tatsuya/ I can´t post there myself without a mobile phone, but I can follow, like and comment. This is my account, but the add-on to post photos with a notebook only worked for one day, so there´re only 3 webcam selfies of me with my cats on my profile: https://www.instagram.com/marionfriedl1656/
