A really good idea, although I’m not sure how many people would want to have their cancer stick butts and used gum on display. Arguably, one of the better ways to make a statement about mass consumerism, environmentalism and fashion, without having to say a thing. From contemporary jewelery designer, Ana Cardim, it is made from metallic silver and comes complete with extra, removable, transparent mini garbage bags and plastic wire to keep it fastened. The designer explains, “The choice of materials used (silver and plastic bags), provokes the confrontation of concepts such as value and waste. Silver as a noble metal is opposed to plastic bags, used and discarded in our society in frightening amounts.” More information available here.
