Seyi is an Architectural Designer and Maker, with a passion for creating immersive art installations that reimagine our public spaces. She hopes to transform the way we experience our urban surroundings and empower local communities through sustainable, self-build design projects. Her work uses the Arts as a tool to encourage us to make the most of our resources by having a more meaningful and conscious relationship with material objects.
Seyi is a committee member for Black Females in Architecture, who actively promote the beautiful ways of making with recycled plastic through fun and creative workshops, and is member of RUSS Self-Build Community Land Trust based in Lewisham.
This year, Seyi is showcasing Plastic Pavilion – an installation which aims to highlight the wasteful nature of single-use plastic, and challenges the public perception of an everyday material by inspiring people with its beautiful and creative potential.
The piece is a large undulating canopy made of thousands of plastic bottles filled with coloured water which will transform the outdoor space into a serene oasis. Lie down and let your imagination wander as you gaze above at the glistening colours.
