Original by Nature
Original by Nature is an art installation that turns discarded glass bottles into flowing sculptural forms. The bottles are reshaped by heat and molds through advanced upcycling methods. Each glass form holds a hydroponic system, so plants grow inside the installation. Sensor-controlled irrigation supplies water to every module, and violet ultraviolet lights at the back support plant growth. The main modular unit measures 5000 mm in width, 2000 mm in depth and 3500 mm in height. The work joins art, nature and technology to make sustainability visible.
