Frankenstein Terminator - A Nike Terminator Inspired Sculpture

Frankenstein Terminator

Frankenstein Terminator reimagines the classic Nike Terminator sneaker through a lens of rebirth and creative reconstruction. Crafted from upcycled e-waste and found materials, this piece combines the spirit of innovation with a narrative of transformation—echoing the Frankenstein myth. It explores how discarded technology can be brought back to life through art, merging sneaker design, sustainability, and storytelling into a singular sculptural form.

You will notice the red felt is attached using staples like the skin of the great beast. This technique was also used to secure the metal sheet on the top of the box with the electricity logo.
