Thank you, what now? is a critique on consumption, disposal and waste. This piece replicates the clouds massive size and capacity using the material of garbage in order to critique our disposable culture.

 I use the red and white color scheme of the iconic ‘thank you’ bag as well as detectable conglomerates like Safeway, Macy’s and Target. Our massive consumption and disposable culture is overwhelming to the environment and to the self.

 555 is the angel number for change; something new is coming.
