This project critiques society’s prioritisation of convenience over environmental sustainability, using vending machines as a focal point. While designed for efficiency, these machines generate excessive waste, revealing the environmental consequences of our consumption habits.
By implementing a representational visualisation of vending machines waste, disposables are repurposed into an abstracted sculpture of a distorted human head and discard mountains, communicating that the environment is not a distant or separate entity; it is directly shaped by human actions, choices, and attitudes. Through this sculptural representation, the project challenges society to reconsider efficiency, questioning whether
convenience must come at the cost of sustainability, further emphasising the need for a more reflective and sustainable approach to consumption and waste management.
