The diptych consisting of "Plastic" and "Tin" delves into the intersection of consumerism and waste management. In "Plastic," as well as its counterpart "Tin," metal and plastic fragments are confined to a small portion of the canvas.
The dominant expanse is a striking golden backdrop, serving as a poignant commentary on the escalating issue of waste in our consumer-driven society. This visual juxtaposition highlights the looming reality: that soon, recycling waste will be akin to mining gold, as the challenge of waste disposal grows ever more complex. The diptych serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need for sustainable practices and responsible consumption.
