Purge Sculpture

Filed under 'random' this sculpture was spotted the previous weekend along the waterfront just north of the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle.  A pile of vegetated 'cans' with the word 'Purge' punched into them - alas a web search has yielded little in terms of info beyond this.  Anyone have any info?

No info to share, but there is something profoundly interesting about that sculpture. I find it interesting that graffiti artists are already tagging it, perhaps adding depth to the meaning of it. I wonder if the artist intended that it become an urban canvas as well? Thanks for sharing.

Never seen a garbage can look so cool. Reminds me that you can take something pretty ugly and turn it into something green - like shipping containers being used for the framework of "green homes".

Could you take another photo of this sculpture? Want to see how it grows.

Simple things look really good when there has been a bit time spent on developing them and making them look nice.

That's a great idea, which is full of sense of art
