The Recycling Project Art

At first glance, this is just a frame—polished, bright, and store-bought in appearance. But turn it, and the truth is revealed. Hidden within the glossy red exterior is a core of discarded waste, encased in plaster. The image inside captures nature in two states—one seemingly untouched, the other already altered. A reminder that what we see isn’t always the full picture.

It looks like a simple, moss-covered stone—solid, natural, permanent. But look closer. Small glimpses of plastic peek through, and within, it's entirely hollow. No rock, no stone—just trash, compacted and shaped by time. What once belonged in a landfill has been sculpted into nature’s own disguise, mirroring a future where even the earth itself cannot escape human waste.

"Earth, Unfinished"

Half rock, half raw plaster—this frame is a contradiction, just like the world it holds inside. The bottom mimics natural stone, softened with moss, while the top remains unfinished, with the artist’s hand still visible in its texture. The image it holds is just as layered: a close-up of a fragile winter landscape, where ice lifts the earth itself, exposing the void beneath. What we think is solid ground can be broken away with just a touch.

A solid mass, a quiet weight, a presence. This stone-like form carries more than just its own shape—it holds shredded plastics, worn-out fabrics, and discarded remnants of life. But its surface tells a different story. A branch, draped in lichen, reaches outward, suspended over rushing water. A moment of stillness before movement. A reminder that even what seems forgotten has a place in the landscape.

"Above & Below"

This one holds a quiet trick of perspective. A rock resting on another rock, until you see the image within—ghostly pale trees stretching into the sky, dissolving into the light. The landscape is there, but just barely. The waste hidden inside? That, too, is just out of sight.
