SHREDDED TRAIL OF UNCERTAINTIES

SHREDDED TRAIL OF UNCERTAINTIES
This work consists of an assemblage of shredded beer cans like fruit drinks, canned coke, etc of different colures that I cut in a flower like shape, measuring 360cm x 120cm x 14cm in variable dimensions arranged within the exhibition space.
In this work I tried to examine the factors that define the concept of the abuse of space and the resultant conflicts that are triggered between the consumers of these products and the nonchalantly discarded cans or packages of these products after these consumers must have exhausted their contents. This struggle for the occupation of space occurs when these discarded items litter the environment and threaten the aesthetic state of the environment. I also encountered, in the process of creating this assemblage, the problem of uncertainty in the sense that the final outlook of the work was not preconceived. This trail of uncertainty was also evident while I was gathering these ordinary discarded tin containers. The nature of the found items sort of dictated the creative process, so that the continual interaction between medium and I was sustained. It was a deliberate approach; one which I hoped will be contagious, in the sense that the viewer of these works will be invited into that interaction.
