In "I WILL TAKE THE LEFTOVERS" the astronaut is depicted with an inflatable vulture, both standing atop a hill of garbage. The vulture is an animal that often feeds on the carcasses of dead animals left behind by other predators. Similarly, the astronaut is searching through the garbage to find any usable items that may have been discarded by others. The painting highlights the issue of waste and the fact that many things that we throw away can still be valuable resources. By repurposing and reusing what we have, we can help reduce waste and create a more sustainable future. The vulture serves as a reminder that even in the midst of waste and decay, there is still the potential for new life and opportunity.
