Bottle Soap — Shelley Spector

This project is an exploration of the concept of circular economy, through the collection from (reclaimed oil) and return to a community (soap).

It is intended that the Bottle Soap work/installations will support the donation and distribution of soap batches to local neighborhood programs.

Bottle Soap and 5 South
2017 to Present

After studying soap making in Costa Rica, Spector returned to her city of Philadelphia and began to create soap recipes with used cooking oil from a local donut shop. The Five South cart, also made entirely of reclaimed materials, was built to assist in her soap making process. Spector shares the soap as both an artistic installation and a resource to distribute.
