The Cig Box series depicts the two most common states of cigarettes — as trash or fresh from a vending machine. The lifecycle of any cigarette means it is destined to become litter from the moment a box is opened. The butts will fall to the ground, packs will overflow trash cans, smoke will seep into fabrics and tar will collect in your lungs. The remnants are both visible and invisible. Made of a steel and resin construction painted with automotive grade enamels, and a 2-part clear coat finish, these boxes eliminate any illusion that the litter from cigarettes is impermanent.
