<p>the whole concept of "trash" is weird if you think about it. the act of "throwing something out/away" implies that it just goes into some kind of convenient void which is none of our concern. throwing out trash is an automatic daily action, similar to regenerative actions like washing dishes or brushing teeth. it's easy to overlook because trash is literally not something we want to look at for longer than absolutely necessary. trash is meant to be overlooked. </p>
<p>what if "trash" as a category (or even as a word) simply didn't exist? what if you had to keep everything you consume and figure it out <s>yourself</s> with your community? </p>
<p>that we generate trash is of course directly necessitated by the kinds of products available to us. what if companies, in the first place, couldn't even bring a product to market which will inevitably lead to trash?</p>
<p>this collection of trash is meant as an exercise for the eye and imagination. i generally don't feel bad for throwing out my garbage, nor am i trying to solve the problem as an individual by keeping these items. more so, these pieces have a visual or haptic or material quality that makes them impossible for me to consider them trash.</p>

<h2>insect log</h2>
<p>i observed and logged any sightings of insects as well as any mentions of insects for a week. if you want to get closer to insects — or any topic, really try it out yourself.</p>
