We thank God for artist who are reusing and recycling things to create art. This is the case of Eugene Konboye, a Nigerian artist who is turning old plastic flip flops into works of art. He visits landfills and riverbanks to collect discarded flip flops, which are a popular footwear choice in Nigeria. He takes back those flip flops to his studio to clean and disinfect them. Once they are ready, he cuts them up and creates an upcycled masterpieces.
