To See a World
of a Pile of Trash


Conceptual Photography

2019




Linking images of urban trash with images of nature to create an analogy, the project “To See a World of a Pile of Trash” aims to arouse people's thoughts about nature, the process of industrialization, and human society. Every day there are 1.34 million tons of trash produced worldwide; if no action is taken to control the situation, the environment will soon face serious consequences. The similarities in the physical shapes/patterns between them serve as a visualization of trash encroaching on nature.
