Manuel Ursprung's "OMIT": A Plastered Reflection on Value, Waste, and the Imprint We Leave Behind

Manuel Ursprung's "OMIT," available at Apricus Art Collection, is a powerfully evocative sculptural wall hanging that transcends mere decoration. Crafted from plaster of Paris, this piece serves as a compelling commentary on our modern society's relationship with value, waste, and the lasting impact of our choices.

A Society Obsessed with Disposal

Ursprung's artist statement cuts to the heart of the matter: "A society that eliminates everything that has been outdated or just has no further meaning." This observation serves as the foundation for "OMIT," prompting viewers to consider the implications of our throwaway culture. What happens when we can no longer dispose of things so readily?

The Weight of Acquisition

The statement continues, "What would happen if we can’t dispose of things anymore. Let’s say there will be a record of everything we ever acquired. No matter if physical items, mental states, human beings we interacted with. Would we decide more wisely with whom we engage, how we behave, what we acquire or gift?" This poses crucial questions about our consumption habits, our relationships, and the lasting consequences of our actions.
