Fish- A Trash Investigator

Decomposition refers to an ecological process in which things unused by both a producer and consumer and things left after use are broken down into molecular units and create a new cycle. I see art as an act of decomposition, not production or consumption, and define an artist as a decomposer or a ragpicker. I cast a critical eye upon byproducts that have been abandoned by society and nature that has been damaged by them, doing my best to see and embrace society with a warm heart.
