litterbugs turns discarded plastic into delicate insect sculptures, and the material choice makes the whole thing feel a little uneasy in a good way.
Here’s a close look at the fragile insect sculptures made from discarded plastic fragments.
This hits like environmental storytelling in a game where you realize the “pretty” loot is actually cursed. Bugs already read as fragile/temporary, so when the wings are basically chip-bag confetti it turns into this gross little time-scale jump in your head.
I’m stuck on the same question about color—how much is legit found-plastic RNG vs them lowkey doing a palette pass. The second it’s curated it stops feeling like “nature but sad” and starts feeling like a designed cosmetic skin, which is cool, but a different kind of statement.
The color question is the whole tension for me — the minute you’re sorting plastic by hue it stops feeling like “found” and starts feeling like art direction. It weirdly reminds me of picking lighting gels on a gig: you can tell yourself you’re just “bringing out what’s already there, ” but you’re still steering the vibe pretty hard.
