This mixed media relief artwork is created from carefully sorted recycled plastic toys and everyday household objects, with minimal acrylic paint applied to unify color and surface. Organized into vibrant zones of orange, yellow, and green, the composition resembles a stylized botanical landscape. Flowers, leaves, seeds, and branching forms emerge through layered materials, repetition, and texture rather than literal depiction. Everyday plastic items—utensils, caps, containers, and fragments—are reassembled into floral structures, creating a rhythmic balance between order and play. The work does not aim to replicate nature, but to reconstruct it through artificial materials, emphasizing color as a primary organizing force. Encased within a transparent acrylic frame, the piece presents the natural world as something collected and arranged, inviting viewers to reflect on how color, material, and reuse reshape our visual understanding of plants and growth in contemporary culture.
