Synthetic Blue Conceptual Sustainable Design
Ze Zhou
Fine Arts and Art Installation Design Synthetic Blue Conceptual Sustainable Design by Ze Zhou Synthetic Blue is a sculpture that resembles a jellyfish. The sculpture is made entirely from reclaimed disposable plastic utensils, thermally reshaped and permanently embedded in resin. The dome form is created through compression and controlled heat, preserving surface textures that recall biological membranes. The piece rests in a shallow resin basin framed in wood, which suggests a reflective water surface. Viewers first read the object as a marine organism, then recognize the discarded plastic, a shift that draws attention to the effect of waste on ocean life.
