Why am I cleaning up YOUR mess?

Confetti and Acrylic Box, 25.4cm x 25.4cm, February 2020

The purpose of this piece is to capture the idea of leaving a party and the closing of a night. The pile of the confetti represents the necessary cleanup at the end of a fun thing; it is an attempt to hide the mess of a night. The transparent box embodies the idea of glorifying things and confining them to a smaller space. The words in themselves represent the difficulty of not only literally cleaning up something so small, but getting rid of memories from the past.
