The wall of a Phoenix warehouse is plastered with a grimly graphic set of posters warning of the dangers of Hepatitis C. It can be a horrific sickness, one that leads to disfigurement and worse. The wall of posters urges the viewer to fight back. I make this wall of posters speak more boldly by layering it with the forceful lines of a dumpster, symbolizing a wasted life. The dumpster’s bar thrusts deeply into the image, directly at the posters, while a vertical post connects the edge of the dumpster with the top of the image. I use the outer frame of the dumpster to create a diagonal which abstracts nearly a quarter of the poster wall, intensifying the power of those posters that remain visible.
