‘Upcycling’ from a historical perspective refers to a process of subsequent reuse of objects. While getting from one historical context to another, they changed their function and were re-adapted by people for different purposes. Such objects, which can be attributed to different historical periods, can pose interesting questions to our past and become a thread that connects them with our present and future.
