BLUE2
BLUE2 is a collection of objects made from the material of old swimming pools, that is made to reintroduce plastics as a high-end material. Where plastics are often not seen as a material of high value anymore, I want to show that it has great potential to be a craft. Here Birgit positions herself as a craftsman, where the most important factors of adding value are putting in knowledge about handling the material, along with lots of hours of handcrafting. Even though made from waste, the techniques developed specifically for this material transform a swimming pool into an object to be admired and cherished. This project highlights the importance of shifting our perception of waste, and helps to start seeing it as a sustainable source that offers innovation and possibilities.
