How did the photograph do this:
The photograph shows bricks and bricks of trash piling up in the background, going off of the screen, creating a limitless amount of trash in the viewers mine. Despite this, there is still trash overflowing from the seemingly endless trash. The overflow also creates a difference in form, making the spill apparent while still keeping the very busy texture of the trash, which makes it very visually interesting.
Effect/what was the impact: The effect is that the viewers mind fills in the rest of the trash, while still immediately being drawn to the form of the overflow, creating a simultaneous idea of “endless” and “too much”, which then gets the viewer thinking more in depth about trash usage and ecological impact.
