Non-recyclable trash and repurposed materials on cardboard

"Blue Parrotfish" is a vibrant and imaginative representation of the captivating marine life found in the Caribbean. Using unconventional materials adds a unique and eco-friendly dimension to this artwork. The cardboard and wood base provide a sturdy foundation for the work, forming the shape of this fish. This choice of shape and form allows the viewer to immediately recognize and connect with the subject matter. Diverse materials such as dense foam, fabric, buttons, plastic, paper, pencils, and knitting add depth and dimension to the piece. Incorporating everyday items like toothbrushes and eye drop vials adds commentary on repurposing and sustainability, fusing artistic expression and environmental consciousness, inviting viewers to consider the potential of discarded objects in creating something visually stunning.
