This capstone project is a sculptural flower box constructed entirely from discarded materials collected within SLA’s own building. The project began with the placement of four repurposed trash cans, sourced for free from Facebook Marketplace, in four high-traffic locations throughout the school: the art room, the engineering room, the main office, and the Commons. Each bin was labeled with a brief introduction explaining the project’s purpose and inviting students and staff to donate their disposables rather than throw them away. Over several months, materials were collected from these bins every two to three days. Donations ranged from colorful paper scraps, paint tubes, and stickers from the art room, to graph paper, wooden sticks, and screws from the engineering room, to printer boxes and mechanical parts from the office. Once collecting was complete, all materials were laid out and evaluated before construction began. Using online tutorials alongside personal creative instinct, the materials were transformed into an abstract sculptural flower box. A printer box from the main office served as the base, painted and shaped into a clean white planter. From there, flowers and decorative elements were built piece by piece from donated scraps, each component reimagined into something entirely new. At its core, this project is a statement about consumerism and waste. It challenges the idea that disposed items are without value, arguing that with creativity and intention, trash can become art. Because the materials came exclusively from within SLA, the piece directly reflects the consumption habits of the school community, making it both personal and communal.
