  1. AN INTERESTING COLLAGE OF CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION. HOPEFULLY THIS EXCESS WILL BE OF
    A BENEFIT TO OTHERS?

  2. Nice find! I was curious about your cropping choice. With a square crop, I might have only cared about the colors, textures, and humor in this compacted waste. The crop you chose puts it in a broader context, inviting the viewer to form form their own opinion.

  3. P.S. Michelle, if you haven't already seen it, I highly recommend the film "Waste Land" about Brazilian artist Vik Muniz and the inspiration he took from the world's largest landfill (near Rio de Janeiro) and the people who make a living picking recyclables from it.
