In 3D Impressionism: Sculpting Motion from Plastic, sculptor Sayaka Ganz shares how she transforms everyday discarded plastic objects — like utensils, hangers, and toys — into large-scale animals that look as if they’re running, flying, or swimming. She’ll take you behind the scenes of her process: collecting materials, building a metal “skeleton” armature, and arranging colorful plastic pieces like three-dimensional brushstrokes to create the illusion of movement. Along the way, Sayaka explores how her upbringing in Japan, where many people grow up respecting the spirit in nature and in objects, shaped the way she sees even abandoned materials as worth caring for. Through stories, images, and projects inspired by ocean and wildlife conservation, this presentation invites audiences of all ages to look at plastic in a new way — and to imagine how creativity can help us value what we usually throw away.
