Tombstone Of Waste

Long description

“What I saw in the morning as a blank abstraction of an ocean wave, while heading to work is now, a piece of junk pile. It happens every day. The blank ocean wave in morning turns to this ugly junk wave by night. I stick my early morning coffee cup daily as its asks me to and it’s invisible in that wave of waste by night. The next morning, I get a blank canvas again. Maybe today I will skip my coffee. At night I noticed the junk pile – one cup less ugly.” A tombstone represents the life of the dead, but what about something that never dies? Plastic never dies! Tombstone of waste is an ephemeral, poetic and interactive installation which brings out the life of something which we believe dies after its use, whereas it’s one of the longest existing things on the planet right now, slowly killing us all. The installation is like a canvas for people to paint art from their waste and kill it in real. With every new piece added to the installation, it starts bringing out the worse form of it. It becomes a part of visual culture of the city which brings out the life of the waste. Instead of lying into dustbins, dump yards and oceans the plastic we throw, now looks at our face directly.
