The images are shown bellow, the first image is an empty Starbucks cap and the second image is the flower cap. In this semester, I noticed an empty Starbucks cap on the studio table, at Landscape Architecture building, no one threw it away and left on the table for a period. Last week, an idea jumped onto my mind that making the empty waste cap in beauty way. And then, I grabbed some sands putted into the cap and bought a bunch of dried flowers, it just made the cap became a flower vase. It looks simple, however, it adds ‘beauty’ to the studio.
I create the flower cap by making the empty trash cap and give it a ‘life’, has it own meaning. The signifier that I find in the object is recycling materials into useful object and bringing beauty to around. Using daily waste to create art is not only for beauty but also for environmental purpose.
