SCULPTURES

Turning everyday detritus into objects of art is my passion, especially when it comes to discarded musical instruments. I am drawn to the intricate small parts inside instruments and their sculptural potential. Exploring these instruments, I embark on a transformation journey, reimagining them into captivating sculptures that breathe new life into their musical heritage. My process begins with collecting discarded musical instruments and carefully disassembling them to reveal their inner components. From there, I let my creativity take flight as I repurpose these parts, crafting unique sculptures that showcase the diverse forms and textures achievable through manipulation.

Combining instrument parts with other found objects to craft imaginative sculptures that evoke themes of metamorphosis and transformation. Through my art, I aim to prompt viewers to reconsider the value of discarded objects and inspire environmental consciousness. Each sculpture serves as a testament to the transformative power of art and the beauty that can be found in the unexpected.
