Green Jug

Serge Attukwei Clottey's "Green Jug" exemplifies the Ghanaian artist's distinctive practice of incorporating discarded plastic waste, particularly used jerrycans, into sculptural and mixed media works that address environmental degradation and consumer culture. The work transforms mundane, often transparent or brightly colored plastic containers into a cohesive form, reflecting Clottey's commitment to both aesthetic innovation and social commentary through material reclamation. By elevating refuse into fine art, the piece challenges viewers to reconsider waste and sustainability while celebrating the resourcefulness inherent in repurposing materials from everyday life in contemporary Africa.
