Artist’s description:
Mayebo is an installation art project evoking a plantation garden made out of recycled waste plastic packaging and labels of our daily consumption products. The plant that grows and composes this garden is a kind of flower of multiple colors inspired by the shape of a mold fungus from which the term 'MAYEBO' originates.The issue of ocean or urban pollution by plastic inspires me to use water as a support in this context.
