Trash Journal

Paper cups are disposable, cheap and plentiful like the countless photos on our phones overcrowding our feeds, while exhausting our patience and appreciation of their value. 

Shin-Young Park's installation combines disposable paper cups with photos from her 'recently deleted' album, putting forth the notion that these moments are valued no more than paper cups to be consumed with little heed and discarded thereafter. 

Through this interactive project, Park wants to stress how these insignificant actions create significant trash, permanently circulating in both cyberspace and the physical world.
