Thestudy aims to explore the circular economy’s relevance to Vision 2030 and howsustainability can be achieved through innovation in contemporary art.The research includes a practical component based on the researcher’s experience.Mosaic pieces were created using recycled materials like paper, glass, and plastic,applying techniques that promote sustainability through creative expression. Thisapproach supports the national economy by replacing the traditional linear model withcircular practices.The study concludes that contemporary mosaic art can contribute to the nationaleconomy through recycling and waste reduction.
