Trashissima examines consumer society, environmental degradation, and human waste through a theatrical, highly stylized lens. Shot during a two-month residency at the Berdoulat waste treatment and landfill facility in southwestern France, Roy transforms a landscape of trash, discarded plastic, and industrial refuse into a stage for performative self-portraiture.

Rather than adopting a traditional photojournalistic or purely documentary stance, Roy casts herself in various tragicomic, absurd, and cinematic personas amid heaps of garbage. Her brightly colored, saturated, and carefully orchestrated compositions create a stark aesthetic tension between visual beauty and environmental ruin.
