I was on my way to dinner in Chelsea and I noticed an instillation. Though I had seen it before I had never taken the time to look at the cups. Though I don’t know the artists intention I find it interesting on many levels. Not only was it visually appealing, not to mention would make a wonderful print for kitchen towels, but it was commenting on society. We consume so much and it is absurd how many disposable coffee cups one sees while walking the streets of New York City. One also sees many reusable mugs, a fashion statement for the metropolitan eco-friendly chic. Mine is bright pink with a light pink trim. Some carry mugs that resemble a disposable cup from their favorite chain, Starbucks. Others use the traditional thermos. So what does your mug mean? Are you truly eco-friendly or eco-chic?
