Forthcoming ruin
2024

Forthcoming ruin is an object of anticipation that crystallizes the presence of plastic issues. Proposed as the future of our underwater archaeology, the amphora (an ancestral symbol here in plastic) merge past and present to question the upcoming legacy of our current lifestyles.

Made from recycled plastic, this amphora was imagined thanks to the work of the @octolabo.eu collective, which harvests and transforms recyclable plastic waste in a low-tech way. During a collective workshop organized by @idee.designers.alsace and @preciousplasticfranceofficiel, I had the opportunity to use the material and tools used to transform plastic by fusion. After selecting my material and making samples, I focused on the possibility of refining the material like a sheet to reveal the marbled appearance of the mixed plastic.

Dimensions : 34x26x63 cm
