In the belly of Gaia

Documentary piece drawing comparisons between waste treatment in the modern day and stories from Hesiod's Theogony.

Whilst researching around an old dump in Swindon, a local city. I found an effigy to Gaia, greek goddess of the earth emblazoned into the earth that had been used to cover up the desecration of the years of waste accumulation at Shaw Forest Park.

Still today the waste pile releases gases into the environment, further contributing to pollution and increases in greenhouse gases/temperature in the environment.
