What is sacrificed in the name of progress, and who is the one asked to bear this weight? Reflecting on the devastation European e-waste imposes on Ghana, this work questions what physical matter is sacrificed there to ensure digital experiences here. Created by fashion designer and 3D artist Keke Opata, this piece bridges fashion, technology and visual storytelling.
