Pop tabs and wire
As we continue our exploration with trash and accumulation, we use wasted beer cans and industrial materials to talk about the human footprint on Earth. Each element built by the pop tabs represents stages of life lived absentmindedly, influenced by a co-dependence of alcohol and other substances.
As separate units they lack weight and complexity, but as a whole they cover the body with a cold shield of aluminum and spikes, a fallacy of protection in a society that is taxing on our bodies and spirits.
Through this slow and impactful change, innocent youth endures, yet morphs our perception time and our awareness of our aging bodies.
