about this recycled art sculpture
This recycled art sculpture by Roxana Fazeli features a glass bottle encased in black leather, with a cork shaped like a whale. The piece symbolizes the delicate balance between human consumption and the plight of marine life in an endangered ecosystem.

Through this thoughtful combination of everyday objects and artistic craftsmanship, Fazeli transforms waste into a poignant reflection on sustainability. The sculpture inspires viewers to reevaluate their relationship with nature and the critical importance of protecting our seas.
