350 Project #1: Assemblage

Waste Tree

Waste Tree is the product of wasted food growing into a crazy mess of plastic bowls, old cell phones, and two flags. The stem is made of measuring cups, and slight at the fact very few people take the time to measure or think about how much they consume. My original goal was to use a measuring cup and have green trees and plants growing from it. A piece meant to inspire people to be thoughtful about what they use and/or waste. I had trouble finding trees that would upload, so I went slightly more dark in my message.
