Artist about this artwork
Within the diptych, "Tin" and its counterpart "Plastic" offer a thought-provoking commentary on consumerism and waste management. In both pieces, fragments of metal and plastic are confined to a modest section of the canvas, allowing the remainder to be dominated by a lustrous golden backdrop.
This deliberate visual choice serves as a powerful reminder of the escalating waste predicament within our consumer-driven society. It subtly underscores the imminent reality: the day is approaching when recycling waste will rival the value of mining gold. With each passing day, the challenge of waste disposal grows more intricate, making sustainable practices and conscientious consumption all the more imperative. The diptych stands as a compelling call to action, urging us to reevaluate our relationship with material possessions and the environment.
