BOOKS from paper cups

Using the collage technique, I make books with poetry and visual art out of paper cups. Since both cups and books are made of paper, I decided that I could make a book out of paper cups. Now the series consists of 6 books.

I was taking essentially rubbish (what Kurt Schwitters called merz). The title of the series (halfmilkshakespeared) was given by the third book, the main element of which was a half-portrait of Shakespeare. A play on words, in which halfness, milkshake, and Shakespeare were mixed. In my opinion, this is perfectly conveyed the idea of ​​the project — milkshake here is not only a drink that could once have filled one of these cups, but it's the collage itself, that mix of pieces of paper, colors, letters, words, meanings that filled the cups-pages of books.
