I work primarily with discarded plastic bags, using crochet, knotting, sewing, and other traditionally domestic techniques to explore the value we assign—to objects, emotions, and each other. At the heart of my practice is a simple but radical idea: nothing and no one is truly disposable. By transforming what’s been thrown away, I aim to shift the narrative from discarding to reimagining—from waste to worth.
Crochet and other handcrafts have long been acts of care, of quiet labor done in service of others. In my work, these gestures are extended to materials we usually overlook. What began as an exploration of hyperbolic geometry led me to the creation of a brain-like form—split, evolving, overwhelmed—built entirely from plastic waste. That brain became a vessel: for thoughts we suppress, people we devalue, and the systems we build to define what matters.
Each piece reflects a different angle on what we discard. Some are emotional—rendering internal experiences like distraction and neurodivergence
in physical, persistent form. Others are more societal, confronting how we treat each other and the planet with the same disposability we apply to synthetic materials. Yet all of them are acts of transmutation. They ask: What happens when we treat even our messiest realities with patience and attention? What else could rise, if given care?
My work is rooted in a belief that transformation is always possible.
