Hedonistic Throne (16" X 20" X 60") (Viewed From The Left)
I made this sculpture completely out of 500 Styrofoam 20oz cups during my time at Pre-College. This is a critique of the current culture in trap music. Artists use their drug use as a status symbol much like aristocracies and other royalty. But what had led to their imminent downfall was the same the drugs that are lifting them up. The drug I'm specifically talking about is Lean. Made from cough syrup served in a styrofoam double cup. The double cup's purpose is so the drink doesn't seep out through the pores of the cup through condensation. I took this into consideration when constructing the sculpture, the top and the bottom of each column are double cupped. By doing this, it was able to hold more weight and is actually functional as a chair. Styrofoam itself is an inadequate material and especially as a cup. It isn't able to be recycled and is not biodegradable.
Anyone who chooses to use this cup is choosing to be Hedonistic as there are many alternatives.
