The Istanbul woman turning discarded waste into art | Video

Istanbul, Mar 18 (EPA-EFE).- (Camera: Erdem Sahin) At first glance, viewers of Deniz Sagdic’s art would be forgiven for thinking they are colorful oil paintings. But on closer inspection, they will see that these works are entirely made from discarded waste.

SOUNDBITES OF DENIZ SAGDIC: "About ten years ago when I looked around, I realized that there was a lot of waste. Ouside the garbage bins, close to our house, I saw that objects that did not expire were thrown away. I started a journey to see if I could make an artwork instead of throwing it away like other consumers. I have been making sustainable art with sustainable objects for about ten years. I use all kinds of waste materials”
