It all starts in the sketch book. If you can imagine it – you can do it. Everytime I want to create something new, I dive into my ideas and I start sketching what I’ve imagined. These sketches reflect what later I bring to reality.
To shape the body of my sculptures, I use trash. Yep, trash such as plastic bags, used clothing and whatever I find in my garbage bin. The reason for using trash in my sculptures is because I have always been worried about the huge amount of waste we, humans, generate per day.
Therefore, by retaining trash forever into my sculptures, I am avoiding it to end up in landfills, to be burned, or even worse, to be swallowed or eaten by marine wildlife like sea turtles or whales!
