Violet Garden is a mixed media relief artwork created from carefully sorted recycled plastic toys and everyday household objects, with minimal acrylic paint applied to unify color and surface. Dominated by layered shades of purple, lavender, and soft pink, the composition resembles a stylized garden scene contained within a circular form. Flowers, leaves, insects, and branching elements emerge through repetition, texture, and modular assembly rather than literal depiction. Recycled utensils, caps, and fragments are transformed into petals, stems, and patterned surfaces, creating a playful yet structured visual rhythm. The work emphasizes color as an organizing system, allowing synthetic materials to echo organic growth. Encased within a transparent acrylic frame, Violet Garden presents nature as something collected and reassembled, inviting reflection on how color, material reuse, and human intervention reshape our perception of the natural world.
