What would your pile look like? Would you be ashamed? Proud? Would it say something about your personality or laziness?

In his 2014 project “7 Days of Garbage,” photographer Gregg Segal delved into the reality of America’s waste crisis through a series of photographs.
The project captured families and individuals lying amidst seven days’ worth of their accumulated trash, confronting viewers with the inconvenient truth of environmental degradation.
Based in California, Segal meticulously documented the trash problem by inviting people from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds to his backyard, where they posed amidst their refuse atop natural landscapes like sand, grass, and water.
“With 7 Days of Garbage, I call attention to the problem of waste by personalizing it. I asked family, friends, neighbors, and other acquaintances to save their trash and recyclables for a week and then lie down and be photographed in it. I photographed my family because I want my 8-year-old son to understand that we’re contributing to the problem, too.”
Through “7 Days of Garbage,” Segal aimed to provoke reflection and raise awareness about the pervasive excess and waste plaguing society.

We’ve seen these cigarette hats being worn by captors in movies, but thankfully, not sure it’ll catch on.

Cigarette Hats 🚬🎩
This is how you know smoking isn’t cool. Guess what, if you have to put little fashion accessories on cigs to make them attractive, they just aren’t really that ill.
The video in slide 3 is why social media is dangerous for kids. See how manly and suave these dudes appear? It’s just the hats, cigarettes do NOT make you look this good.
And of COURSE there’s a cowboy hat and a disgusting red “USA” hat. These are the kinds of people who want you to think inhaling burnt leaves under a dope lid will make you handsome as hell.
Also...is that a women’s hat? Oh heeeck no! It’s understandable (albeit wrong and bad) when men do this, but women? Don’t fall for it. Putting a dainty, feminine, adorable, objectively pretty, cute, stylish, fashion-forward hat on your cigarette does not—
The propeller cap+top hat is probably the most messed up one of all. As if cigarettes can make you look like a fun playful guy AND a dashing sophisticated devil at the same time. As if you’ll be the life of all kinds of parties, a real Renaissance man of whimsy and culture, a genious

Spray painting flowers with HF issue 47 artist Logan Hicks.
From Hicks:
“The piece, titled “A vase of Flowers” was originally painted by Margareta Haverman in 1716. Only two of her works survive today. She studied under Jan Van Huysum, but when she was admitted into the French Royal Academy in Paris, he turned on her. Jan Van Huysum felt that her success would lower his prices, so he told the academy that the work she submitted for admission to the academy were actually copies of his paintings. She was thrown out of the academy and disgraced. Her reputation was forever tarnished.
I painted this piece to bring notice to her and to celebrate those who are forgotten because of the injured egos of mentors.”

While their bright colors may call you closer, the paintings of Jean Luc Iradukunda are fierce, visceral, and stand as a commentary on human disfigurement and the assimilation of refugees like the artist; who is a Rwandan migrant living in South Africa. See more of the artist’s work at @bendergallery in North Carolina.

Installation artist Laurie Shapiro gives us hope that we can have white walls and an immersive studio at the same time.

You’d think that a transparent mask would be kind of pointless, but the wearable wire sculptures of Giacomo Bevanati create a unique effect.
Thanks to Tom Hall for the heads up!
