Sustainable Up Cycling of waste
By nature, I tend to accumulate things, though it’s not a trait I boast about. During my
undergraduate studies, we participated in a workshop led by a local sculptor named Ilyas
Ahmed. He provided us with two truckloads of auto parts and encouraged us to unleash
our creativity by crafting pieces of art for our university campus. This encounter left a
lasting impact on me, reshaping my perspective on waste materials.
Soon, this newfound outlook evolved into a hobby. I found myself constantly seeking
ways to transform ordinary waste into functional works of art. For instance, I repurposed
old badminton shuttle cans into unique night lamps, which I then sold to the very people
who had discarded them initially. I also crafted center tables using discarded car tires as
bases and repurposed shuttle boxes as legs. Even beer bottle caps found new life as
coasters, among other innovative creations.
This process of turning everyday junk into functional art pieces inspired the concept of
“From the Trashbin to the Living Room” and gave birth to what I like to call
“Scrapnomization.”
