Fish № 1 (2019) Sculpture by Hakaro

Haka is a contemporary Russian artist. He's recently become interested in a new trend in contemporary art called "recycling-art," which involves transforming old, outdated home products into new art objects. Art recycling is primarily an alternative for traditional art forms. Modern society has become addicted to consumerism, unaware of the fact that the planet's resources are finite. The industrial revolution in the 19th century set the stage for a "garbage catastrophe" in the 20th and 21st centuries, with no clear remedy in sight, particularly in Russia, his home country. His concept is that items that aren't recycled for various reasons can be used to make art pieces, giving them a second life and transforming a functional product into a decorative or home item in a modern interior.
