“Transcending Waste” is an immersive installation that addresses the environmental and societal consequences of plastic waste through a combination of sculptures, projections, and audio. Plastic waste is transformed into floral-inspired sculptures that frame and surround a projection of a digitally animated painting, depicting a surreal landscape made of plastic. The audio component plays manipulated sounds of plastic, emulating the surrounding soundscape of this surreal place, establishing a tension between artificiality and nature. This installation invites viewers to reflect on the impact of plastic waste by transforming discarded materials into art, revealing their hidden beauty and recyclability while emphasizing the urgency of addressing plastic pollution.
As an artist and designer, I primarily work with digital media and explore various conceptual, surreal, and environmental themes. "Transcending Waste" has expanded my practice, moving into a three-dimensional space that joins my interest in digital art with sculpture, while being able to experiment with and explore new materials. With this project, I aim to evoke contemplation, challenge perspective, and explore the intersection of aesthetics and environmental awareness.
