CD Project

In approaching this project, I really wanted to create something totally different from the particular object that I have chosen. I also wanted to make use of all the junk I have at home and juice out as much creativity I have into turning scrap into art, or at least, something useful.


Looking through all the piles of throwaways I have, what caught my attention was the piles of CDs I have. They were once the pinnacle of technology, compressing so much different data into one object. Now, with the event of the USB and other smaller/more digital forms of data transfer/saving, CDs are slowly on the decline and at most seen as a wasteful form of technology.

I wanted to create something out of the whole package( including the case!) Something totally unexcpected which would still reflect technology in some way, So I decided to create a lamp/ dream catcher out of them.

All it took me was years and years worth of CDs( now backed up in my external drive), the cases, super glue and a string.


Gluing takes a lot of time cause of their glossy materials, but it seems that I am on my way on just putting the different elements together and start combining them with the aesthetics I had in mind.


Hope to be done by this week, so stay tuned!
