This group exhibition is based on the premise that waste is not merely a byproduct of capitalism, but a driving force. The works shown transform discarded objects into artistic materials, borrowing from the appealing aesthetic of consumer goods to expose how those products lure us in. Rather than idealizing nature or demonizing waste, the pieces focus on the central question of desire, the impetus behind the capitalist system.
