Judith Selby-Lang has been working with the trash theme for a long time now. This is a picture from her 2008 Earth Day installation at the San Francisco Federal Building Plaza, entitled “The Last Dance”. Here’s a short description, in her own words.

“The ecological footprints of some 48 nations were arranged on the plaza. Each footprint, cut from recycled carpet padding, represented the quantity of resources used by that country. Inspired by dance instruction charts, the footprints exemplified the disparity in a fun way; that we all need to watch our steps and that we’re all dancing together; that we’re all partners on this planet, but some of us have way bigger feet.”
