syringe girl



'I created this illustration purely because I am so shocked and horrified by the illegal dumpings of medical waste by a South African man in Welcom.


'Free State police arrested Gavin Brasher in Welkom after raids in November unearthed 300t of medical waste - including body parts and used syringes - in shallow pits at his brick factory'

Here's the link to the story:http://www.timeslive.co.za/news/article297905.ece

It seems as if we are so desensitized to everything around us. Please see the sheer magnitude of hypodermic needles buried in the illegal dump. I find it mind blowing.
Surely this kind of stuff can't happen in this day and age?
