You are what you waste

When I first came up with the idea of making a picture of pixels, I immediately thought of painting. Although I was pleased with the results of my first projects on pixel-art, it still felt like something was missing. I knew I could do it better - I just didn1t know how. After a couple months, when environment protection got an important role in my life, I suddenly realized I could make the pixels from garbage. This way, the piece of art I created has become something more. Apart from being an artwork, the picture carries now an important message and the technique I'd used gave the picture a whole new dimension which made it more vivid and exciting. Fun fact: the picture is made of materials such as my own hair from my hairbrush, a bun net with ten-year-old gelatin on it from the times I did synchronized swimming, packaging of online orders, a dozen bills, dirty cotton pads I used to remove my make-up etc.
