This portrait is made from non-recyclable trash, emphasizing the subject’s dedication to the environment and sustainability. It reflects her role as advisor to the President on environmental and natural resources policies that improve, preserve, and protect public health and the environment for America’s communities. I used buttons on Mallory’s face and neckline as a subtle reference to her upbringing in Waterbury, Connecticut, an historically major button-manufacturing town. The food wrappers and other plastic trash serve as a powerful commentary on environmental injustice and the challenges of climate change, underscoring the urgency of these issues and Mallory’s contributions.
