Metaphor
Mirror
The purpose of the mirror is to reflect the subject that is in front of the mirror. Human use mirror to take care their appearance. The purpose of using mirror in this installation art is I wish to let audience see and look through the themselves and think what they have done to this world , and think what should they do after experience my installation art.
Target Audience
The Target audience for this installation is made for all genre of people. But, I hope the audience who neglect and shirk their responsibility on recycle will feel guilty and start to think that what they have done to the nature of the mother earth and start to do practice recycle after view my installation art.
Mind Map
Due to growing population and increasing consumption,
Malaysia generates waste at 19,100 tons per day. In Kuala Lumpur waste
generation is about 3,000 tons a day and forecasts shows that this will
increase each year.
The disposal of solid waste has been done almost solely through open landfills. The Committee on Solid Waste Management announced in 2006 the closure of 16 open dumpsites and announced again in 2007 a closure of 16 open landfills. Another 17 open landfills out of a total of 155 are expected to be shut down. There will be a need to build further sanitary landfills and incinerator plants to prevent water contamination and environmental pollution.
The Government has now focused on reuse, reduction and recycling of materials and promotes companies that undertake these activities.

Field Research
On this January 13 2011, I go to Kuala Lumpur area to
take picture and start interview, we depart from 11.30am and return home at
4.30pm.
The journey was very fresh to me, I take a lot of
picture and the place is very dirty, start to interview people the hawker at
the market, and found out different people have different point of view on
recycle. Someone don’t even know what recycle is.
After the field observation, I found out that there are
people who are not care about the recycle matter and throw rubbish anyway.
