Toilet paper rolls are kind of useless on their own and are destined for the trash bin. Up until now I think the most creative use of toilet paper rolls I’ve seen is a child gluing two together to create a set of “binoculars”. Artist Anastassia Elias has that beat by a long shot. Elias transformed these boring, brown, cardboard tubes into recycled pieces of art. On the outside everything looks the same, but take a look inside the tube and you’ll find a delicately crafted diorama. The scenes depict people, bored, in the midst of domestic, classroom or office settings. “Each piece has to be carefully cut from inside so as not to disturb the exterior of the roll – an almost absurdly gentle approach to one of the most commonplace waste materials on the planet.”
