 Chris Jordan who is known for his works depicting mass consumption, waste and particularly garbage. His works contain a bold message about unconscious behaviors in our everyday lives. These complicated and mass garbage that were all discarded by their owners constructed a whole, simple picture. They were treated the same as each other.

I am trying to use the same method to present human’s complicated behaviors which all have one reason or result. It’s a kind of relationship between simplicity and complexity.
