Camille Henrot

Leaking Trash Bag from the series Minor Concerns

2015

A delicate yet unsettling watercolour depicting a leaking trash bag, rendered with Henrot's characteristic attention to the overlooked textures and anxieties of everyday domestic life. Part of her *Minor Concerns* series, the work elevates a mundane, disposable object into a site of quiet tension, its seeping contents suggesting themes of waste, accumulation, and the fragility of containment. The translucent quality of watercolour on paper, mounted on Dibond, lends the image both fragility and permanence, mirroring the contradictions embedded in the subject itself.
