Seriously, people. The artist (I assume) is white. The piece is COMPOSED of trash. It is a self portrait Hence, white trash. Get over it.

Mytake, they are calling this piece of art "White Trash". They are not trashing whites. Unless you have some other description of this piece I'm not sure why you are all freaking out about this.

p.s. I am white.

and you are correct, i had NOT seen this before so i enjoyed the repost! Thanks!

I think this is really cool! And to those who are bothered by "white trash"... This was done by an artist. An artist expressing something. An artist with an opinion. If you don't agree with it or at least appreciate it then don't look. And as for the seagulls... I doubt that he went out and strangled them with his bare hands or even tortured them for information. They are likely taxidermied animals that will not decompose. Geez!
