the world of wheeled things, is vast. I can't even begin to imagine what caused this to get made, in order to what? Put some beauty into trash cans?

Or it's just art for arts sake... 

2019, the duo Recycle Group evokes the recycling of industrial materials mixed with historical and mythological themes and iconography

the bas-reliefs in the work sculpt a narrative, a story that the attentive eye will recognize as the various stages in the creation of a product, from the formal idea to its material production. The end of life of this consumable is a dark omen: once its usefulness is over and our fetishisation of objects is complete, it will change its status and become waste. Suggesting a never-ending (re)cycle, Sarcophagus ironically raises the important question of how we deal with waste in contemporary society, through the diverted use of a container.
