Current – The Glorious Return
This solo exhibition, held in May–June 2025 as part of CerModern’s 15th anniversary, was the most comprehensive presentation of SEVINCY’s universe built from years of transforming plastic waste.
For the first time, giant robots and animal sculptures came together with light-coded plastics to create a unified experience for the audience. Works such as Plastic Bomb, Halal Porsche, Plastic Rhino, Three Wise Monkeys, and Sea Turtle interwove themes of war, artificial intelligence, climate crisis, and data pollution.
The exhibition embodied SEVINCY’s approach to “Trashformative Art.” Plastic debris, data dumps, and childhood memories were transformed—given form and presence.
This was not just an exhibition. It was a collective call toward the future: Reinvention is not only possible—it might be an aesthetic necessity.

SEVINCY
Fragile Peace, Imminent Threat
Transformed from a polyester decorative element and a discarded trash bin, this bomb-shaped sculpture embodies the silent yet urgent tension of a world on the edge—war, ecological collapse, and cultural erasure converging in one volatile form. Its expression mirrors the anxious gaze of a child living through conflict.
This piece is a visual protest: it merges environmental pollution with human violence in symbolic form. Just as plastic poisons nature silently, war accumulates—slowly, quietly, then explosively.
With its fuse nearly spent, the sculpture becomes a countdown—asking viewers: Can this explosion be prevented?
“Plastic Bomb” materializes memory, fear, and trauma into a single object. The face etched into it reflects the universal emotions of children caught in conflict. SEVINCY transforms plastic waste into a powerful anti-war statement, proving that repurposed material can carry both warning and resistance.
This is not just an object. It’s a reminder: war doesn’t only threaten human life—it endangers our shared future. Every upcycled element poses a vital question: Can we turn waste into resistance? Can we save not just bombs, but the possibility of coexistence itself?
Three Wise Monkeys
In packaging factories, even the tiniest defects—imperceptible to the naked eye—render plastic forms unusable. These industrial castoffs, discarded before ever becoming packaging, form the raw material of Three Wise Monkeys. Far beyond environmental alarm, these towering robotic figures embody the “wise” stances artificial intelligence might adopt when confronted with human failures: strategic blindness, calibrated silence, and intentional inaction.
“See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil” is reimagined here—not as naïve denial, but as algorithmic detachment shaped by ethical ambiguity. Each robotic figure is built from layered industrial plastic waste coded with light, revealing a fusion of artificial cognition and the emotional void of the digital age.
This trilogy is one of the most definitive works within SEVINCY’s “Trashformative Art” ethos. Here, discarded plastics, synthetic consciousness, childhood memory, and moral fracture converge into one sculptural system. These robots stand not as prophets—but as witnesses of our era’s collapse.
Today, ‘wisdom’ is no longer a human virtue; we hand it over to systems and employees who have been able to give it.
