"The Cemetery". Original Oil Painting on Canvas Painting

The vital cycle of a can This series focuses on the object of cans. Cans are typically colorful objects, created beautifullly to attract the interest of the consumer. As many other objects, once they are used they become waste and are treated as such: cans are destroyed and thrown away. During a vist to a Recycling factory in Salzburg on summer 2009, I became fascinated about the tones of cans piled as mountains that are recovered from the city every year. The recycling process was amazing, allowing to recover and creating very efficiently new and fresh beautiful cans, leaving almost no waste unused. On this series I analysed this process from a can's life perspective. I thought about how many other objects are treated in a similar way, bringing me to connect to the idea of how humans could eventually be recycled if treated as objects.
