from the serie Trash & Treasure: TRASH — The loser stands small

Fast fashion chases endless profit, breaking circular cycles and leaving the Earth to bear the cost.

This work addresses what remains after speed and consumption have run their course. Garments designed for brief use lose their value almost immediately, yet their material presence persists. What is discarded in one part of the world resurfaces elsewhere as surplus, burden, or necessity.

Referencing markets in Ghana, the layered composition reveals accumulation without intention: textiles, figures, and structures overlap in a dense visual field. The work exposes the imbalance between convenience and consequence, showing how waste is not an endpoint but a transfer — shifting responsibility rather than resolving it.
