Trashbird is an artist from Los Angeles who’s best known for his socio-political humoristic stencils and paintings. He recently created a project called “Valley Of Secret Values,” in which he turned crumbling concrete structures into designer purses – with handles, straps, and everything.

“To see [the stones] crumbling with the passage of time, returning to the earth as a dust, well the metaphor was too strong to disregard,” Thrashbird said.

“We grapple for status and purpose in society, and [consume] possessions to showcase how successful we are and to fill us with purpose, with complete disregard for the people and the planet affected by our careless overconsumption,” the artist continued. “Our measure of success has been skewed. We’ve come to a place in society where things and social status have become more important than our connection to each other.”

Here are some of his works. Find more on Instagram.
