Cardboard, the consumers’ trash, becomes bed and blanket for the homeless. Hence, those who sleep covering themselves with cardboard are considered trash. At first sight, some cardboard on the street or a person covered in cardboard look the same to the passerby. The general demand for clean streets does not make a difference between the waste the rich get rid of and the person wrapped by this waste.
Wrapping-cardboard, blanket-cardboard, container-cardboard, house-cardboard. My work is a gesture of respect and love, an appeal for forgiveness of our helplessness, a failed attempt to relieve us from our guilt.
