I am a self-motivated creative with experience building large-scale 3D sculptures using items that would otherwise be throw in the trash. I connect with my materials, plastic waste and broken glass found in dumpsters, and I assemble them into a sculpture that celebrates new purpose for discarded items. I see myself in that process, the repurposing, as I constantly repurpose who I am through what I make. I connect with shards of glass as I place them into decorative mosaic patterns, stripping the material of its "trash" or "unwanted" judgment and giving it new purpose as a colorful design that inspires instead of disgusts. This creative process is how I learned to process my identity as a broken material trying to make sense of what I have been given and abandoning the word "normal" all together.
