About Tangled Paths Rebultong Sining na Gawa sa Recycled na Materyales
Ang Tangled Paths ay isang malaking rebultong sining na ginawa mula sa mga recycled na materyales. Ang obra ay may sukat na tatlong metro sa lapad, lalim, at taas. Ang mga cardboard sheet at egg carton ay bumubuo ng mga paikot-ikot na frame na pinagdikit gamit ang glue at sinusuportahan ng mga bakal na rod, nuts, at washer. Ang acrylic paint naman ang nagbibigay-kulay sa magkakaugnay na mga istruktura. Nakalagay sa lobby ng isang opisina, ang eskultura ay maaaring tingnan mula sa lahat ng anggulo, at maaaring dumaan ang mga bisita sa gitna nito. Ipinapakita ng Tangled Paths ang galaw ng buhay-lungsod at nagtataguyod ng paggamit ng mga recycled na materyales.
