' If it breaks, i'll buy a new one '

Porcelain

Consumer electrical products are often discarded and thrown away as soon as a newer better looking product is released.
Most electrical products such as camera’s and mobile phone’s have become so accessible and affordable in the western world that we treat the product with little regard, ‘if it breaks I’ll buy a new one’.

To to visualize the value and respect we should have for these items, I have made real size replicas from Porcelain. This forces the owner to treat the product with the respect it deserves, and highlights the severity and impact the product has when it is broken or thrown away.
