"This new series looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on."
It's the Death by 1000 Cuts, what these human do to their home. Or maybe they just live? Maybe is like wrinkles on a face, not torture? Maybe humans, as part of greater creature, are facing death of greater creature, not knowing they can retard death, thru judacious enjoyment of, um, creature comforts?
I am Sad 4 Life. I do not want another flood!
