What is Zero-waste?
creating absolutely no trash that would be sent to landfills, incinerators, or the ocean.
Currently, only 9% of plastic is actually recycled.
In nature mushrooms are important decomposers of organic waste. Therefore, in the studio of Ophilya Handmade, Krystal Sokolis mimics nature by creating this giant mushroom installation to accomplish zero-waste.
The base is made from empty paint cans filled with concrete. A large metal rod runs down the stem with chicken wire that contains the compacted waste. The exterior is then padded and patched up with upcycled textiles or concrete.
