66Pounds

There is an environment which surrounds us by the moment, every day. It is in our home, on the streets, sidewalks, and virtually all around us. The internet and technology is constantly working even when we are at rest. It is estimated that the average American disposes of 66 pounds of e-waste every year. The result of this luxury is environmental devastation.

The installation consists of a large fishing net, that envelops the front yard of an average American house. This net holds 66 pounds of electronic circuit boards that have been disposed of and found on the streets of Los Angeles.

This piece visualizes the impact of humanity's tech waste by creating a physical and sublime manifestation of an otherwise banal statistic.
