  • This was inspired by seeing the immense magnitude of tire rubber along our highways, and by seeing its meaning as yet another discarded byproduct of our way of life, symbolic of all the discards our consumer culture generates and ignores. As the idea for this sculpture spontaneously flashed into my mind, I also heard a giant sucking sound of fuel perpetually swirling down the drain just to keep humans alive yet another day, keenly reminded that massive-scaled transportation is vital to providing modern humans our survival needs. It is not just fuel swirling down a drain everyday, but other resources as well.
