Upcycled Mini Apartment Art From Recycled Materials In a Shoe Box!

This tiny living space in a shoe box with cover has a used toothpaste cap for a lamp, bread tabs for electric outlets and shelves, a bottle cap toilet, a soy milk sealer for a trash can cover, bent wire eyeglasses, and more recycled items. Don't worry, everything is cleaned! There's a pre-digital museum collection slide glued to a hole in the box for a TV. It's labeled A View of Herengracht 1637-17-12 by Dutch artist Jan Van der Heyden. There's also discarded and unused items from retailers like the snow cone shower. The fan in the bathroom is made from a piece of styrofoam and can be turned by hand from outside the box through the cardboard. The artwork on the walls are from art flyers.
It started out as a sample to inspire my students, and teach them about the impact our trash has, but I got really into it and added more and more details.
