Yellow Lemonade is a vibrant sculpture entirely knitted from discarded lemon netting. Transforming industrial waste into art, the work playfully challenges our habits around single use plastics and invites us to rethink what we throw away. Both thought provoking and fun, it’s a creative take on the old saying: if you’ve got lemons, make lemonade.
