A great reminder for us all, especially when self doubt creeps in or the perils of life. Whether you resonate with the original intention behind the work, it can really translate to whatever you want as art has that magical power. With the fusion of photography and design, this would be a bold and thought provoking piece on your wall.

This colorful print is part of a series called 'I'm a Piece of Garbage' that involved dragging in discarded items from the street and painting self deprecating phrases on them by the talented and witty Brooklyn based Annica of Dirty Bandits. Gui Machado (NY) and Lucas Saugen (SF) photographed them on pristine, bright happy backgrounds. The photographs on bright saturated backgrounds helped make these messy and unattractive thoughts clean and friendly. With these phrases Dirty Bandits touches on deep insecurity and a struggle to maintain a sense of self worth. This is part of a series about salvage in a literal, art historical and emotional sense.
