The Story behind Copper

Every minute, 1 million plastic bottles are consumed worldwide, and the number is rising by 5% every year. I painted this plastic bottle in bright metallic copper paint to sacralize an object we overproduce and overconsume. I then sculpted a teal-to-orange coral reef on top of the plastic bottle.

About the Artist

Stephanie Kilgast

Inspired by natural forms, Stéphanie Kilgast’s artwork is an ode to nature and its current biodiversity. Plants, mushrooms, insects, and other animals encounter a vibrant swirl of colors under her brush or sculpting tools.

Since 2017, in her series “Discarded Objects”, she grows colorful organic sculptures on human-made objects, celebrating the beauty of nature in dialogue with humanity, questioning the lost balance between human activities and nature.
Her work has a cheerful post-apocalyptic feel to it, a reassuring reminder that nature has the capacity to grow back if we only let it.

Her work has been exhibited in North America, Asia, Australia, and Europe. French, Born in 1985, Frankfurt am Main, Germany currently resides in Vannes, France.
