Recycling in Geometry

 

Recycling bottles in geometry with the ceiling foils and light

 

One of the "i light Singapore" art piece - The Lantern by Josephine Pun Tsz Kiu (National University of Singapore)

 

Here is the exhibit label:

Nestled in the embrace of the city, the luminous pavilion emerges as a contemplation on the voracious cycle of consumption. Its gentle luminescence is an alluring invitation to be mesmerized by the sight of light dancing upon the water within.

 

Made out of over 5,000 upcycled plastic water bottles - a staggering quantity that mirrors the relentless pace of bottle disposal in Singapore recurring every 7 minutes - The Lantern is a sobering physical embodiment of our collective harm to the environment. Yet, by harnessing the beauty of these upcycled materials. The Lantern is also a symbol of renewal and a call for bolder, innovative design approaches to shape a more sustainable future.
