This digital artwork explores society’s obsession with new clothing and the waste it creates. Using layered images of brand labels, clothing piles, and a rubbish truck, it highlights the cycle of fast fashion: buy, wear, discard. The chaotic composition reflects the overload of consumer culture and urges viewers to question the cost of constant consumption. This artwork is inspired by the work of Jave Yoshimoto, who creates brightly coloured gouache paintings that mix traditional Japanese prints with scenes of modern disasters and pop art elements.
