Shot from above in Segal's backyard, the startling images are simultaneously engrossing and repulsive. Each trash heap was nestled in constructed environments of the beach, water and a forest floor. Even though Segal's locations are fabricated, the backdrops serve as a reminder that this is where a lot of our waste ends up anyway, the whole of the earth effected by our excessive habits. Participants were often uncomfortable to lie amongst the rubbish and Segal found most slightly embarrassed and surprised at the amount of trash they produced.
