Each picture had its own idea and conceptual approach. The pictures were made of waste: various accessories (beads, thread, cloth, burlap), wood (sawdust), food (tea, sugar, salt, bay leaf, whole grains, pepper), household trash (plastic bags, candy wrappers, egg shell), natural material (sea shells, dried branches of trees, sand), photographs, wax and clay. Some pictures represent the quilling technique.
The event was dedicated to the conservation of nature. The initiators sought to encourage the students to collect and use recycled materials to create paintings and other original works. Contemplating the works of student art the visitors realized the beauty of the mundane things that are given a second chance to life. We are surrounded by awesome things!
