The exhibition is the culmination of the GRPs ongoing support of Mr Alexander, and his work on space waste, which aims to raise awareness of the issues surrounding space waste and sustainability. Speaking about the project, Mr Alexander said:

Waste of Space will visually express - mainly through large scale cityscapes, with superimposed photomosaic space debris images - the real and present threat that space debris poses to society in a unique way: from a human perspective, connecting the Earth to the near-space environment. This everyday approach will make the issues more tangible and real for the public by showing that the debris is just up there.
