Recycling as an art

Get to know Marlouzel, she is a writer and a student taking up BA Anthropology. She has managed to turn some things considered garbage into new pieces of functional objects. 

She says that she got into recycling mainly because of necessity. Most of her works started from the need to make things functional so she doesn't have to spend another cent on trivial things. Then they later evolved into what she does best - making art.

All the materials she uses are the ones you can also easily find. Perhaps by now you can find these in your trash can or in a place you've already forgotten. Take a look at how she has managed to make these pieces of "junk" into new works of art.

     
     Diskettes she doesn't use anymore which she turned into pen holders.
        

using the paper she has made out of the scratch of papers that she has - voila! a work of art with matching paper texture

Here, you realize that the sky's the limit when it comes to recycling. Whatever you have to work on, it can always be turned into something usable again. You not only satisfy your eyes with the beauty of your creation but also be one of the forces that help in making earth more sustainable.
