What would the artist Auguste Rodin or indeed his model posing in 'The Thinker' be contemplating if it were made today, and not in its orginal 1902 form. The world has changed so dramatically since then, most notable the polluted oceans, rivers and land fill sites filled with single use packaging.

3 years ago I started collecting brand segregated waste then recycling it all back into a more positive outcome for their 'end of life’ use, instead of ending up in land fill or worse. The energy used to make one can alone is the same as recycling 95 old cans back into new. A horrifying waste of materials and energy that is enabling the global warming that we are all witnessing today.
Coca Cola is rebranded in the studio with a 3d render model of a classic coke glass bottle with the text changed to 'Drink Less’.
This was the first piece to be created from the new recycling studio in the Maldives called 'Makers Place'. The piece is made from 100 beach cleanup recycled Coca Cola cans.

The subject of this intensely Romantic work is derived from canto XXXIII of Dante's Inferno, which describes how the Pisan traitor Count Ugolino della Gherardesca. Accused of treason in 1288, locked in a tower with his sons and grandsons chained together to starve to death. He was made famous as one of the damned souls in Dante's poem the Inferno.
Carpeaux's visionary statue reflects the artist's passionate reverence for Michelangelo, specifically for The Last Judgment (1536–41) in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican, Rome, as well as his own painstaking concern with anatomical realism.
The most notable feature of the original is the torment seen on Ugolino's face, something I wanted to keep to the original as closely as possible, pulling his hand away from the face holding a plastic bottle of coke.
