Finding a creative outlet in the middle of the COVID-19 lock-down was essential for everyone. But with limited materials how can we create?

Solution
Robox was created from stenciling consumer packaging. Creating Robox is often more fun than the product that was inside the box. It might also lead to questioning preconceptions around the tools and skills required to create art – anyone can be creative with everyday objects and encourage up-cycling of waste.

Robox asks questions about the way we live – what happens when we are entombed in our homes surrounded by the things we buy? How much happiness is in our material wealth?
Creativity makes us human. It helps us process emotions, invites collaboration, and unites people. Made from stencils found in everyday boxes, Robox questions preconceptions that only some people are creative.
