About the Item

Garbage Queen is a striking mixed-media series that blends photography with physical waste — discarded plastics, newspapers, and other salvaged debris — assembled into sculptural garments and affixed to the surface of each print. The images are printed on Alu-Dibond and housed in deep plexiglass box frames, giving them a tactile, three-dimensional presence. Each woman depicted in the series stands poised and powerful amid mounds of refuse, wearing garments crafted entirely from what society has deemed worthless. In doing so, Seilern confronts conventional notions of beauty and luxury, offering an alternative vision rooted in dignity, perspective, and resourcefulness. By transforming garbage into couture, Seilern crafts a compelling metaphor for environmental responsibility. The women she photographs — graceful and proud — suggest that strength and elegance can emerge from the discarded. Her work invites viewers to reconsider the value of materials and to embrace a new narrative of circularity. These women are not just muses — they are allegories for change, draped in transformation itself.
