This sculpture talks about commercialism and how it wastes resources. People are always so intrigued by new and fancier things...even when they're basically just the same thing. These unsatisfied 'lust' leads to plethoras of waste and garbage. The use of copper as the material for this sculpture defines this example: that even the most expensive things can still be considered as trash.
Aldrich Maligsa produces artwork without an affinity to a single medium or material. He is best known for his award-winning artwork entitled Life Is and Full Of which raised questions in the Philippine Art Scene as to what the boundaries of art is. Maligsa frequently produces works that employ found objects and transcends them to a level that translates the impending cultural, social, and political situation his country faces. Maligsa’s works nod to the Dada and Minimalist movements. Filipino, b.1995, Cebu City, Cebu, based in Cebu City
