Two: Site Specific

For the Site-Specific project, I decided to make a sculptural pyramid out of Coke cans, and placed it on the Pepsi machine in the Fine Arts Building. My materials included: many soda cans, and a lot of hot glue. I also used the tabs to create a sort of sunburst coming out of the upper cans.

Is this project commenting on the absurdity of brand competition? About the ridiculousness of consumer culture? Or, is the red, white and blue color scheme a symbol of patriotism? Or, is this piece suggesting that whether a person drinks Pepsi or Coke is irrelevant, it's still just a high fructose corn syrup beverage that contributes to this country's obesity epidemic? Or... does it just look pretty? You decide.
