Working at the intersection of natural history, material culture, and technology, I collect, salvage, and reconfigure discarded objects—the overlooked detritus of a throwaway status quo—into site-specific interventions. Through meticulous field gathering, research, and slow, iterative craftsmanship, I assemble discarded fragments into new forms, giving forgotten objects a second life that challenges how we assign value. By framing the tension between our environmental ethos and daily complicity, the work invites a critical re-examination of our relationship to the natural world, urging a shift from mindless consumption to collective stewardship.
