Kuhusu Synthetic Blue Sanamu

Synthetic Blue ni sanamu inayofanana na kiwavi wa baharini (jellyfish). Sanamu hii imetengenezwa kabisa kutokana na vyombo vya plastiki vya matumizi ya mara moja vilivyorejeshwa, vilivyobadilishwa umbo kwa joto na kupachikwa kudumu ndani ya resini. Umbo la kuba limeundwa kupitia mgandamizo na joto lililodhibitiwa, likihifadhi maumbile ya uso yanayokumbusha utando wa kibaiolojia. Kazi hii imewekwa katika beseni fupi la resini lililozungukwa na fremu ya mbao, ambalo linaashiria uso wa maji unaoakisi. Watazamaji kwanza huiona kazi hii kama kiumbe cha baharini, kisha hutambua plastiki iliyotupwa, mabadiliko ya mtazamo yanayovuta usikivu kwenye athari za taka kwa viumbe vya bahari.

Vifaa vya Habari

Mikopo, wanachama wa timu na maelezo ya kiufundi yaliyotolewa na mbuni.

Sifa za Kipekee: The sculpture is constructed entirely from reclaimed disposable plastic utensils that have been thermally reshaped and permanently embedded in resin.

The piece rests within a shallow resin basin framed in wood. Integrating material recycling, biomimetic morphology, and controlled thermoplastic manipulation, the work synthesizes sustainability, process-driven form, and ecological narrative into a cohesive sculptural object.
Vipimo na Ufungashaji: The object is positioned within a shallow resin basin framed by wood, simulating a reflective water surface. This base establishes spatial context while stabilizing the structure.

The project merges material recycling, biomimetic morphology, and controlled thermoplastic manipulation into a single cohesive object.
Lebo: Art，Sustainable Design，Environmental friendly，Product Design
Teknolojia ya Uzalishaji: The sculpture is constructed entirely from reclaimed disposable plastic utensils that have been thermally reshaped and embedded in resin. The dome structure is formed through compression and controlled heat processes, preserving surface textures that resemble biological membranes.
Changamoto ya Ubunifu: The primary challenge was balancing structural stability with organic irregularity. Thermoplastic materials deform unpredictably under heat, requiring iterative experimentation to maintain translucency without
collapse.

Another challenge involved achieving water-like optical depth within a shallow resin base while preserving clarity and minimizing air bubbles.
Utafiti: It explores thermoplastic reconfiguration and biomimetic form translation. Through experimental heating and compression methods, disposable plastic utensils were transformed into semi-organic structures while maintaining evidence of their original function.

The research investigates how material memory, translucency, and deformation can simulate marine morphology. The work also examines visual misidentification as a design strategy, translating ecological phenomena into object-scale form.
Msukumo: Sea turtles often mistake floating plastic for jellyfish, leading to fatal ingestion. Synthetic materials have infiltrated natural ecosystems.

Synthetic Blue emerges from this resemblance. Instead of symbolically depicting marine life, the project reshapes discarded plastic utensils into a form that mimics the fragile translucency of a jellyfish.

By transforming waste into a seductive marine apparition, the work exposes the paradox of artificial beauty and environmental harm.
Muda wa Mradi: Designed and fabricated in California, USA, 2024–2025.
Exhibited in 2025 at:
• Some Like It Hot, California Creative Arts, CA
• Pocket Gallery, Burbank, CA
Mtiririko wa Uendeshaji: Viewers first encounter the sculpture as a delicate marine organism due to its translucent surface and aquatic coloration.

As proximity increases, the identity of disposable plastic materials becomes recognizable. This perceptual transition — from aesthetic admiration to material awareness — forms the primary interaction mechanism.

The work operates through visual deception and revelation, mirroring the ecological misrecognition that inspired it.
