Trashformer

Materials Used: CARDBOARD, STICKY TAPE, MARKERS

Trashformer is a light-hearted manifestation of imagination and play. It represents the artists’ attempt to improvise like a child again, reminding us of the times when our tin robots and plastic action figurines can be made to ‘fly’, ‘fight evil’ and ‘save the world’. This quirky assemblage of unwanted materials gives a new lease of life to what were once deemed trash and hopes to bring elements of surprise and simple delight to the viewers.
