| I often work with found objects, images, materials and tools that become building blocks according to context in telling a particular story. One such example is the construction trolley turned seascape rebuilt, which is part of the Multiple Use series, 2019. I made it as a reaction to the overdevelopment of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, where numerous hotels, retaining walls and abandoned concrete complexes line our seaside, forming an often anti-utopian landscape for rest and relaxation. — Maria Nalbantova |  | Multiple Use, 2019, construction wheelbarrow, acrylic, water, 50 x 64 x 150 cm |
