Ring, 2020, Oyster Shell, Upcycled Plastic Bag

Being an avid nature lover, my biggest nightmare is currently a reality: pollution, environmental emergency, bush fires. There are different types of pollution and different degrees to what we can control, but I believe that we can do more than we think. I am making changes in my lifestyle everyday and hope that every little thing builds up to something bigger. I express that in my works and I try to encourage others to take more action as well. Lately I’ve been exploring the different ways of upcycling plastic; there is so much of it that goes into the ‘recycling’ bin and ends up being sent to landfill somewhere in Asia. I believe that we need to use more of what we have and create less of what we don’t have.
