I TURN STREET FINDS INTO ART
"To me, it's about combining discarded materials into beautiful pieces that encourage viewers to see value where they once saw waste."
DISCOVER WHAT'S NEW
1,3 tons of reused materials since 2021
I don’t claim any expertise in recycling or environmental issues, but working this way has fundamentally changed my perspective. What started as a visual and material preference has made me acutely aware of how much we discard and how much of it can be transformed rather than thrown away. By collecting, reusing and transforming these materials, my practice keeps the raw presence of the street within a gallery context, inviting viewers to see waste as potential rather than an endpoint. Since 2021, this has resulted in 1,3 tons of materials being given a new life through art – and still counting.
