My final project involves the laser cutter, sound, and found objects. I am thinking of using recyclable cardboard to visually represent spoken words about our throwaway culture. Here are some inspiration images to help convey what I mean:

I love the artistic qualities of the sound wave, and what happens when different voices and pitches say the same thing. I want to try to push a powerful message about how easy it is to buy into throwing things away for convenience, even if we support recycling (examples: the decision to buy food in a styrofoam container, or throw a coffee cup since there are no recycling bins readily available).
I want to layer cardboard to create a large piece that stands in for the words we say about throwing things away.
To work with the sound wave as a visual form is a great way of thinking about this project. And the laser cutter, too, feels like the ideal tool for this. Looking forward to seeing the outcome.
