Story behind the artwork:
Apart from affecting society’s culture, consumerism leads to global inequality. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, resulting in a huge gap between the rich and the poor.
Small canned sardines literally don’t weigh 4 kilos and it is surreal to ask for four kilos of canned sardines rather than a single can of it. In a market setting, they normally don’t put them on a mechanical scale before selling, but instead, sort them by size and brands and put them on shelves.
This work explains how many people in a family will consume a single small canned sardine. Usually, a small can of sardine contains 4 pieces of sardine fish and a single fish is good for a single person’s meal. But because of the hardship of life, a single meal is being divided into more members of the family to howsoever put something on their gnawing stomach.
