Encore Encounter: Recycled Art of Poramit Thantapalit

Poramit Thantapalit's work is inspired by the relationship and connection between humans, nature and the surroundings such as trees, flowers, the ocean, people and animals. The artist focuses on using both recycled and non-recycled materials to create his artwork. Discarded shopping bags, cereal boxes, and plastic bottles that were once considered “trash” are altered into unexpected visions of beauty such as coral clouds hanging from the ceiling and bluetanica gardens growing on the wall . His work inspires viewers to protect our environment.
