Our need to take part in the consumer culture circle, as individuals and as a society, is based on our yearning for an imaginative sense of freedom. We live in a world that celebrates infinite material abundance, in a world in which the “invisible hand” sustains this belief. In reality, we are imprisoned in a system that prevents us from experiencing real freedom.
Much like staying on a boat in the middle of the sea, in front of endless open spaces, can create a sense of tension between freedom and jail, this sense is created around the consumer product addiction problem and the waste problem that stems from it.

In our proposal we portray a half pastoral landscape scene of 20 sails hung from the ceiling. The sails would be sewn from recycled textile:
Covering from the agricultural world, printed advertisements, shading fabrics, tarps, sails, and old parachutes.
The sails move up and down on top of designed waves, activated by a gear engine and a slow, repetitive, circular mechanism. (which can also be used as a visual indication of the setting sun)
Under each sail, an anchor is hung, balancing the angle of the sail, and enabling free and realistic movement. The anchors will be made of various familiar residential waste.

The bases of the boats will be hung in the height of the upper level in the space, to create a tangible separation between the landscape above the sea level and underneath it. The movement of the boats will be synchronized as a unified wave, and will symbolize the rising sea levels, an unavoidable natural disaster, the wave raises and illuminates the wastes’ influence on nature, and directly on our lives.
The upper view seems idyllic, sails, sunset, slow and calming waves.
Underneath the surface of the sea, the human waste goes up and down in the rhythm of the waves, reminding us that our real freedom and our liberation from the fixating anchors depends on changing our destructive habits, minimizing our consumption, all to preserve the idyllic upper-level scenery.
