They Say We Live In A Throwaway Age,

and up to a point it is true,


 a mass produced product is often more expensive to repair than replace with a new one, keeping this in mind, industrial designer Dina Amin takes discarded consumer products apart to see exactly what makes them tick, her hobby also exposes just how many resources and materials consumers throw away, a new stop-motion animation titled “What’s Inside” is a supercut of Amin’s breakdowns of familiar items, each splayed in perfect grids of plastic, metal, and rubber,

“On Fridays I pick a random product, I disassemble it, examine it and make a stop motion story with its parts,” Amin shares on her website, the designer writes that “we consume too many things to the point that we forgot the amount of work that was put into bringing even the tiniest pieces of things! We rarely see what’s inside each product thus treat it as one whole part; not as a plastic cover, with buttons, vibrator motor, mic and so on. This makes it easier to throw things away, one thing goes to waste, and not many.”
