Jan Eric Visser transforms discarded materials into sculptures that explore themes of consumption, waste, and time. His 2012 work combines everyday objects such as newspapers, brochures, and household waste with wax and ash. The use of these often-overlooked materials creates a cohesive whole that speaks to the transience of objects and the cycle of consumption.
Visser’s work challenges the viewer to reconsider the value of what is typically discarded, suggesting that beauty and meaning can emerge from the most ordinary and forgotten materials.
