Created from thousands of discarded aluminium liquor bottle caps meticulously stitched together with copper wire, El Anatsui's *Zebra Square* (2007) transforms everyday waste into a shimmering, tapestry-like expanse of gold and silver tones. The Ghanaian artist's signature technique allows the flexible metallic mesh to drape and fold organically, evoking both the richness of traditional African woven textiles and the complex histories of trade and consumption embedded in the materials themselves.
