Waste Not, Want Not
My installation work involves the dilemma of consumerism and waste in contemporary society. Consumerism is a natural attribute of the human condition. We consume to live and there is no way to change that fact, but we can be more conscientious about what, why, and how much we consume and waste. We buy and sell, save, collect, and ultimately discard almost everything that is in our temporary possession. The problem originates when we buy habitually and compounds when we waste apathetically. It is my duty as a responsible, sensible, and caring artist to bring this dilemma of consuming and wasting to the public eye through art. This exhibition can be appreciated in many ways. The work can be understood as a lesson in responsibility, social and environmental duty, or just something that is beautiful, thought provoking, and interesting to observe.
