From the clothes we never wear to the food we never finish. From the devices we replace before they fail to the spaces we build and barely inhabit. Overconsumption is the god at the centre of nearly every other altar.
The glass form is full. Deliberately, almost uncomfortably so. Gorged. Swollen. Beautiful. Because that is the truth of it. What we overconsume rarely looks like waste in the moment. It looks like abundance. It looks like success. The wood beneath it once held the earth. Now it holds this.
Materials & making
- Glass: 100% reclaimed window glass, collected from Dandora, East Africa’s largest dumpsite, by Greenthing’s women partners in Nairobi.
- Wood: Reclaimed tree stump and exposed roots, cleared for construction across Kenya, shaped by roadside craftspeople in Nairobi.
- Technique: Mouth-blown handmade glass, blown directly into the cavities of the wood at the Greenthing Hotshop, Nairobi.
Edition: Unique, 1 of 1. The glass form is 100% determined by the cavities of the wood. No two stumps are identical. No two gods the same. Upon acquisition each collector receives an individual material passport documenting glass weight, glass source, wood provenance, and full production record.
