Exhibition Preview: Roberto DeJesus' "Green Guardian"

Inspired by the costume armor worn by the heroes of Japanese anime, artist Roberto DeJesus created "The Armor of the Green Guardian" to reference the "Green" movement and to communicate concern with issues of ecological conservation. Crafted out of recycled detergent bottles and standing tall at six feet, the playful piece invites viewers to discuss recycling and upcycling.
