Artist Statement
In my image, there is a multi-use product and a disposable one. They simply look like a comparison, but it can also be interpreted as a person drinking liquid inside a plastic cup or even leaning on the straw. The latter is formed by the viewer’s imagination, however, the fact that gravity works from the higher part to the lower part easily pops up. A parallel line drawn by the shadow can convey the effects of the straw and its meaning, as a shadow is the result of light. Geometrical balance is created by using the straw, even though it became an attractive feature. I hope people will think about the relationship between single-use and multi-use items.
