Johanna was invited to interpret tyre recycling and recycled tyre materials. The result was three different themes: Circular, Graphic, and Landscape. Explore all the illustrations with descriptive explanations below.
Circular
"The circular can be associated both with the shape of the wheel and with recycling chains. Here, I wanted to create a playful, abstract representation of roads, paths, and flows. I was thinking of materials transitioning into something else. The wheel symbolises movement. The winding shapes remind us to take new paths to gain new perspectives!"
Graphic
"In this design project, I wanted to work with abstract motifs that invite interpretation by the viewer. The guiding principles I based my work on were ‘Changing Perspectives’ and ‘New Possibilities’. Various components and materials are combined to bring out different properties. New possibilities arise when they are taken apart and reassembled."
Landscape
"Here, I was thinking of sediment, layers, and time. The millions of years it has taken Mother Earth to create various materials like steel and rubber. The abstract landscapes aim to remind us of the care for nature and ecology."
