Found object art, also known as assemblage or objet trouvé, is a form of artistic expression where everyday objects or "found" items are collected and reconfigured into new artworks. Artists use items like discarded materials, tools, toys, and various objects to create compositions that convey new meanings and narratives. This technique often involves recycling and repurposing, highlighting the creative potential of ordinary objects. Found object art challenges traditional notions of art materials and encourages viewers to perceive familiar items in a new light. It has played a significant role in modern and contemporary art movements, reflecting themes of consumerism, waste, and the transformation of the ordinary into the extraordinary.
