THANK YOU!

2021

​

My head is covered in a white plastic bag with the red 'Thank You' slogan. I walk the streets of Harlem, where I live, New York City, and the suburbs, all the while knitting the long trailing Blanket made from the same plastic bags that cover my face. At the crescendo of the video, my demise is a calamity linked to the burden of the plastic bags.

​

The work is a commentary on how, even though laws have changed and plastic bags have been banned, plastic is still around. The video also shows my difficulty in getting rid of using plastic bags in my daily life, especially in New York City, a city of consumption.

Length 3:12 min.
