What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.

A mobile is a type of kinetic sculpture consisting of an ensemble of balanced parts that hang freely and move independently or as a whole when influenced by air currents or touch. Typically made of wire and colorful metal shapes, mobiles are designed to create dynamic visual effects through their motion.
Marble is a rare and expensive metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized limestone. It has been used for centuries to create statues, decorative floors, and walls due to its translucency and durability. Marble is ideal for both free-standing statues and relief sculptures. When carving, the material is chiseled away in small increments to achieve the desired form.
