This project was inspired by the waste of E-Cigarettes. Taking empty pods that would just be thrown away and turned to waste into a piece of artwork. This piece has been in progress since August 2021. The progress of the piece depends on how frequently the people around me using this product finish and give to me. This canvas will approximately use 800 pods, resulting in over $1,500 spent on products. By collecting empty pods and creating this piece, I hope to make a statement of what has taken over and controls my generation. It’s titled “Empty Desire” because of the feeling after each hit leaves you.

My plans for the finished piece is included in the sketch below.
