The up-cycling artist duo continues to create their own work by reinterpreting and adding value to previously discarded materials, providing a new point of view for objects and spaces.

'Diffusion' is an installation piece constructed of interlocking 'modules' made from discarded Samsung Electronics packaging. The packing material used to create 'Diffusion' represents an interpretation of the idea of 'expanded boundaries'. The key aspect of the piece was to 'expand the concept of boundaries' by creating a form with interior and exterior spaces that are separated, yet still connected. The exterior creates a sense of physicality, while the form as a whole has a visually open appearance. Fabrikr intended to demonstrate the infinite possibilities of paper packages once thought to be useless.
