Time, 2025, close-up
No full textArtist(s): Vi Nguyen
Materials: Recycled computer parts
Time is a clock built from recycled computer parts - once tools of technology, now part of a story about progress and possibility. Inspired by the way innovation continues to shape medicine, this piece reflects how time and technology converge in our mission to end cancer.
Every minute moves us forward. Every second holds opportunity - not just for breakthroughs in medicine, but in how we choose to live, connect, and show up for one another. Time reminds us that change is always in motion - and that we are all part of the progress. Part of the mission.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/recycledart2025/1098/thumbnail.jp

Healing in the Elements, 2025, bird
No full textArtist(s): Marlene Castro
Materials: Plastic supply caps
This artwork, crafted from Apheresis Clinic\u27s supply caps and tubings meant for discard, and mostly of unused/expired specimen lab tubes generously provided by the MDA Laboratory Department- transform the remnants of diagnosis into a vision of recovery. Each cap, tube, and stopper once carried the story of someone doing Stem Cell Therapy or awaiting answers-each a symbol of illness, uncertainty and the fragile search for healing. Now, reimagined as a vivid landscape, they tell a new story: one of resilience, hope, renewal and the interconnectedness of science, nature and the human spirit. This recycled art piece is a tribute by the Apheresis Clinic and team to every patient, every healer, and the enduring beauty that can rise from our most vulnerable moments.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/recycledart2025/1092/thumbnail.jp
Our Royal Zoo The Earth, 2025, goat
No full textArtist(s): Lauren Smith
Materials: Aluminum cans, cardboard, metal, fabric
The idea of Our Royal Zoo can be a powerful metaphor for the moral imperative to protect Earth\u27s ecosystems and their inhabitants. It underscores the interconnectedness of all living things and the need for responsible stewardship. This project was made from old Amazon boxes that I used to draw and make the cardboard animal cut outs. Each royal on this life-raft is uniquely adorned with leftover fabric from small bags that my tea leaves came in or the end roles of special occasion wrapping paper or gift bags that could not be used. The raft is made from recycled coke zero cans and old National Geographic covers since it is one of the only publications widely subscribed to that covers matters related to our ecosystem and broadens awareness. The flowers by which the raft is buoyed are made from crumbled tissue paper. The jewels that adorn both the elephant and sealion are from old recycled metal earrings that had broken and a unique ribbon that came with a gift of spices I\u27d received from a loved one who visited India.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/recycledart2025/1084/thumbnail.jp
