Styrofoam Dumpster

The artwork plays with ideas of disposal and disposability (this is a dumpster that can itself be disposed of) as well as preservation (styrofoam preserves frozen foods and freshness, and itself lasts indefinitely in the environment). This work could potentially preserve the frozen waste meat from the Market, for instance.
