Time, 2025, video
Artist(s): Vi Nguyen
Materials: Recycled computer parts
Time is a clock built from recycled computer parts - once tools of technology, now part of a story about progress and possibility. Inspired by the way innovation continues to shape medicine, this piece reflects how time and technology converge in our mission to end cancer.
Every minute moves us forward. Every second holds opportunity - not just for breakthroughs in medicine, but in how we choose to live, connect, and show up for one another. Time reminds us that change is always in motion - and that we are all part of the progress. Part of the mission.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/recycledart_media/1000/thumbnail.jp

出入口 (deiriguchi; exit and entrance), 2025
Artist(s): Anthony Romo
Materials: Mixed media
During a recent vacation to Japan, the lack of public trash cans in Tokyo meant I had to carry my trash usually until I got back to my hotel for disposal. The quantity of material I brought back to the hotel daily was surprising, so I collected most of my receipts, ticket stubs, and other paper and plastic packaging. This collage became a meditation on the flow of trash into and out of my life and was born of reflection on how much recyclable material I dispose of. The kanji in the center of the piece designate an exit and entrance, i.e., one passage for both, and are used to depict this dynamic flow. The collage is composed solely of material I brought back from Japan and includes receipts, ticket stubs, shopping bags, napkins, paper bibs, stickers, flyers, newspaper, product labels, theme park wristbands, wrapping paper, paper fans, candy wrappers, gacha prize decals, ribbon, price tags, and street food packaging.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/recycledart2025/1055/thumbnail.jp
