A few days back, many of us went out to collect, what we call, "fruit mesh" to create this installation. Fruit mesh is the white and fragile plastic netting used to protect fruits when it is being transfered from supplier to the markets and shops. It's considered trash to most of the people who sell fruits so every day, fruit mesh is being thrown away instead of being recycled or reused. So, for us, it's an awesome opportunity to collect the material we need by taking away the sales peoples' trash. The best thing is, we save money! Haha. The only thing we have to spend on is th fishing thread for the sewing of the mesh. We collected mesh from pasar malams, Carrefour and Giant!
The mesh collected! There's more actually but it still doesn't cover the amount we need.
So back to the installation. Most of the members enthusiastically began work at the studio in Taylors Lakeside Campus. Our leader taught us how to sew the mesh, making it into an adorable jellyfish shape.
This is our "lao pan", showing the world a thumbs up for having an awesome group to work with. HAHA!
Concentrating.
Hard at work!
A few jellyfish were born!
For now, we're all continuing individually at home. Hopefully by Monday, we'll have made even more progress! Til then!
P.S.
Teck Hong created a mushroom farm.
