The work reflects the leftover items from young artists which were discarded as waste. Some items I found, and some were given to me by artists that have moved on from the university. It reflects items from about a dozen artists including myself. The piece is kind of a time capsule for me to remember the artists that I interacted with while at the university. It's also representative of all the different reasons artists create art. While artists have different reasons for creating art, for most audiences they view our creations as entertainment. For that reason, I decided to make it resemble a television.
