This body of work presents a series of exploratory sculptural forms developed through a process of material reuse and spatial experimentation. Each set is constructed using discarded MDF sheets, repurposed into modular boxes that function both as containers and, when inverted, as plinths. This dual structure allows the sculptures to be elevated, rearranged, and composed as evolving installations.
All elements are handmade using reclaimed materials collected from my studio, surrounding environments, and shared resources within my artist community. The sculptures incorporate a wide range of textures and fragments — foam, sponge, thread, fabric, paper, cardboard, beads, rope, mount board, and wood — assembled into tactile compositions that highlight the expressive potential of overlooked materials.
The project explores transformation, circular making, and the poetics of accumulation. By recontextualising discarded matter, the sets propose a sculptural language that is playful, adaptive, and environmentally conscious, where display and object become inseparable parts of the same system.
