NO (STILL) LIFE TO WASTE: waste does not exist. : I RECYCLED PART OF MY WASTE INTO STILL LIFES

Intrigued by the pattern of stains on a stack of used coffee filters, I suddenly looked at my waste differently, namely through the eyes of a photographer. This was the beginning of my art project ‘NO (STILL) LIFE TO WASTE, waste does not exist.’ By reusing my waste to create still lifes, I realized that I was making art in a circular way, using my waste as raw material.

With my project ‘NO (STILL) LIFE TO WASTE, waste does not exist,’ I emphasizes the importance of awareness in the circular transition. I transformed my own waste into still lifes, aiming to encourage people to think about a more conscious and sustainable way of living. With my project, I demonstrates that sustainable alternatives are often possible. For instance, I printed my artworks on FineArt Photo Paper made from hemp fibers. Hemp is one of the world’s fastest-growing crops, making it an extremely sustainable choice. The paper used contains no brighteners. Furthermore, I crafted the frames for my still lifes myself from old floorboards.
