Throwaways: Here’s Garbage

Noah Yaschyshyn

An exhibition examining the environmental footprint of consumption

Multi-media installations utilize and appropriate single-use commercial by-products, exposing the tension between the fragility of commercialization, its durable systems of efficiency, and the quiet severity of their consequences. Through these materials, environmental impact is reframed not as a distant catastrophe but as an intimate reality woven into daily life. The installation space blurs the boundary between need and desire, questioning mass production, individual consumption, and control in an age of misinformation.

Reception: Wednesday, November 12 | 3:00–5:30 PM
Gallery Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–4:30 PM
