(Black Bags)
Waste Exporting
Due to the inability of waste management in cer- tain developed countries, they ship them to the developing countries in an overwhelming amount. A country can’t deal with its waste, so it ships it out. This is called waste exporting. However, this is a very self-deceiving act because it’s equivalent to thinking that as long as the trash is not in our sight, it doesn’t exist.

The Project
My project aims to use visual language to present just such an idea: Simply removing something from your sight doesn’t mean it’s gone. I covered the black garbage in print behind with a colorful house plant in the front, questioning its invisibility.
What is the relationship between the environment around us, the current space, the objects, and our- selves?
Where is the garbage in real life? What should we do about them?
