About the Artwork: The 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development raised public awareness of the dangers of the proliferation of non-biodegradable waste materials. The summit recommended, "By 2030 reduce waste generation through recycling and reuse". I believe Art should be used to create harmony between and the environment, hence my effort to recycle waste into Art.
