Waste and Be Wasted

What do these pictures represent?
They represent all the waste generated by Americans.
What do these images convey to us?
They convey that we need to not be so wasteful and need to recycle.
How are these images supposed to make us feel?
They make us feel wasteful and lazy for letting so much waste build up without doing anything about it.
Why do you think that the artist chose to create these photographs?
He created them to create awareness about all the waste in America.
How hard do you think that it was to create the photos?
Not that hard because everything photographed was right there for him.

One picture in particular that bothers me, is one involving cellphones. The photo is a shot of thousands of cellphones. Judging by the size of the cellphones in the pictures, this picture was taken from reasonably far away but you can not see anything but cellphones. This represents a problem of being wasteful and unresourceful.

To solve the problem of being wasteful we could melt down all the cellphones and make new stuff out of the materials gained from them.
