[CBLMC-007- Veronika Richterova]

易於延展的PET(塑料瓶)已被證明是實現Veronika Richterova的藝術意圖的絕佳材料。藝術家的目標是捕捉人類對創造性回收的渴望的基本原則。所討論的作品是否純粹是功能性的,或者僅僅是一個裝飾物,這並不重要。
將環保物料由廢品變成可供觀賞的綠色植物,仙人掌的頂部用彩色塑料瓶拼合的仙人掌小花帶裝飾效果, 用物料進行upcycling也提醒了觀眾塑膠對於環境和大自然的破壞。

The Czech artist Veronika Richterova finds the elastic Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), usually used for making plastic bottles, the most appropriate material to realize his artistic intention. The artist intends to capture the essence of human’s desire for upcycling. The artworks in question are designed for practical use or merely for decoration. The recyclable materials are turned from waste to pleasurable greenery.
Some of the cactuses are decorated with tiny flowers on the tips of their stems, which are also made of colorful plastic bottles. Using the materials for upcycling also reminds the audience of the damage plastics cause to the environment and nature.
