iCUP
The iCUP installation was made for an art show called Manifest Love and Peace, at Vee’s Café in Culver City. Its concept derived from taking an ordinary object that the café utilizes and transforming it into an extraordinary piece. A typical paper cup’s life span is an avg of 10-15 minutes. Then, it is thrown away, never giving it a second thought and never taken into consideration the elaborated process it took to generate. The installation counterbalances this effort by bringing to light an ordinary disposable item for a second time and changing its singular characteristic. However, this time, it is visualized into something extraordinary rather than a mere cup. The next phase of the icup installation is to have it transform, morph, oscillate, and reconfigure itself as it is an evolving investigation of possibilities. Its modularity allows movement whether autonomous or manual.
