found objects

Found objects are everyday items that artists repurpose or incorporate into their artwork. These items, which can include anything from scraps of metal to broken furniture, are typically not designed as art but are valued for their aesthetic, historical, or conceptual significance. By using found objects, artists challenge traditional ideas of what art can be, encouraging viewers to see beauty and meaning in the ordinary. This practice highlights themes of recycling, transformation, and the interconnectedness of everyday life and artistic expression.
