Artist Miwa Koizumi brings life to recycled plastic bottles by transforming them into her own 'pets'. She describes, "I love the idea of using liquid containers to make water animals. Contained/containing, trash/not-trash, like the jelly-fish or anemone." To create her art, she uses heat guns, soldering irons and cutting utentsils.
