Song Dongs Installation Art, Waste Not, is a creative piece that allows viewers to get an insight into Chinese culture. I found the piece to be fascinating because Song Dongs mother collected and saved a variety of objects, things that we would consider garbage. They help explain both the Chinese culture and mentality of not wasting anything but also see how culture developed over 50 years. It is unbelievable to see how many objects people can accumulate in their life. In our society we would consider a person that keeps such a collection as a hoarder. Their accumulations would not be considered historic or artistic.
