Points of Contention by Jonathan Latiano

Don’t eat that tuna, you’ll hurt the dolphins!  Cut up your six pack rings, save a seagull. Recycle cans. Drive a hybrid. Do whatever you can to not leave too noticeable a footprint everywhere you tread.

Jonathan Latiano has created a thoughtful sculpture called Points of Contention to encourage us to think twice about the future affects of our world’s use of plastics, styrofoam, and other man made mutant products. The ripple affect in the floor suggests a movement whereas the negative reactions to these inorganic elements becomes our world’s future norm.
He challenges his audience, “As the plastics, resins and polymers that we stockpile on a daily basis increase exponentially, how are we changing the long-term geological landscapes of the world around us?”
