Description
This is a sculpture I made with recycled objects: sponges, magnets, cables, rocks, nails, buttons, hairclips, wire, cardboard, ribbons and cloth from old clothes, old fake flowers, clothespins, clay, paper, hot glue and small gems on a base of white foam and black cardboard.
It is 30x55 cm.

I began working on this piece with a clear theme on my mind " Diversity". I wanted to create something to tear down the walls between people. I was inspired by the story of the ugly duckling in which the black ugly duckling becomes beautiful when it turns into a white swan. I wanted to turn this bedtime story around with the rapresentation of a beautiful black swan.

I started by making a sketch on paper of the shape I wanted to obtain for the head and the body and I shaped some cloth to make it then I added the neck ( glue and stones painted in acrylics). After this I sculped some black clay with a toothpick and added glitter to black glue and dripped it on parchement paper. In the end I glued the other recycled elements.
It was a very long project to work on but it was so satisfying to see it done! I hope you like it
