The labels have been collected mostly from the flea market of Elaionas where all left overs of the previous sellers end up in the landfills of Nea Ionia. Wish I had a space big enough to take it all and create something. The t-shirt has been hand washed for obvious reasons. Clothing labels stitched on a used 100% cotton t-shirt XL of mine.

wish i could...
There is something interesting about the rotten/worn out awnings on the balconies of apartment buildings. It shows the poorness and the negligence of the owners or maybe they just like it the way it is. Most of these apartments are habitable. Wish I could replace with new ones and show the old ones in an exhibition along the history of the industry of the awning in the city of Athens. Photos taken with android phone.

are you trying to say something...
I have been collecting used kitchen sponges from short term apartments for the last 3 years. It is a pity that this kind of material ends up in the rubbish. When you wash your dishes with a sponge, it sheds tiny fibers. These fibers, a type of microplastics, can’t be filtered out by water treatment plants. These end up in the ocean where they join the millions of metric tons of plastic dumped there every year. Τhe synthetic materials that they’re composed of continue to release dioxins and formaldehyde into soil and the atmosphere. Every sponge has its unique color from its use by different people that stayed in each apartment. I did Spongebob for the obvious reasons.
