Lid Awakening
From Cups to Consciousness
A striking coffee table crafted from coffee cups and lids.
This piece encapsulates a poignant irony: utilizing the very vessels emblematic of our daily caffeine to form a functional centrepiece.
Set against the backdrop of the Northern Beaches, where coffee culture thrives, Lid Awakening confronts the dichotomy between fleeting moments of enjoyment and the lasting environmental repercussions of disposable consumption. Each cup and lid symbolizes not just a quick sip, but an enduring footprint on earth.
At the tabletop witness nature's struggle against human waste: Pieces of grass, resilient amidst the lids, a poignant reminder of our environmental impact. Lid Awakening offers an immersive experience through a companion coffee table photography book that showcases the locations where these cups and lids were discovered.
Sip happens, how much coffee do we need before awakening to the magnitude of our ecological impact? Better latte than ever.
TABLETOP
The tabletop, crafted from coffee cup lids, is a striking contrast to the lush patch of real grass that grows from it. The grass, vibrant yet fragile, emerges from the lids like a reflection of nature's resilience amidst the clutter and waste of modern life, subtly illustrating the impact of pollution on the environment.
