Shattered Topography: A Monument to Waste

​While Sydney households generate 64,000 tonnes of waste annually, the local construction sector dwarfs this figure with over 1 million tonnes of waste every year. Much of this comes from the mind-boggling cycle of commercial fit-out churn, where perfectly viable interiors are stripped and landfilled due to leasing standards rather than technical necessity.

​Constructed from the offcuts and damaged sheets that plague every building site, this installation exposes the material reality of a system designed for disposal. It stands as a silent protest against "smash and sort" demolition and issues a bold call to action: It is time for a moratorium on demolition.
