ASSEMBLE ART
This large-scale installation utilizes a vertical, tower-like structure as its central axis. The core is constructed from reclaimed plastic and glass bottles, tightly packed and secured to form a "monolith" that reaches toward the ceiling. The base appears to incorporate a heavy metal barrel, providing the necessary structural stability for the height of the piece.

Radiating from this central tower is a web of vibrant, multi-colored yarn and discarded fibers. These strings extend into the surrounding space, tethering the sculpture to its environment and creating an immersive, 360-degree experience for the viewer.

By using common household refuse like plastic and glass, the work highlights the overwhelming volume of non-biodegradable materials in our modern world. The height of the tower symbolizes the "monumental" scale of environmental challenges.

Connectivity vs. Entanglement: The colorful strings represent the interconnectedness of human consumption. While the colors are playful and energetic, the "web" effect suggests a sense of being trapped or entangled in our own waste products.

Found Object Transformation: The piece follows the tradition of Duchamp or Schwitters, taking "low" materials (trash) and elevating them into a "high" art form through verticality and intentional composition
