As the pace of technological innovation speeds up, we are faced with increasing piles of waste - outdated technology that has limited recycling potential, save for a few precious metals. This sculpture, made of discarded telephone and stereo wires wrapped with PTFE (Teflon) tape, attempts to memorialize the good times our old technology afforded us, while subtly asking us to consider the commitment we make to objects when we indulge our urge to buy the latest and greatest.
