Discarded and Revived: Six Small Canvases

Following the powerful opening, the first set features six small block canvases. These pieces are created from discarded fabrics, dipped in fine cast, and sculpted into abstract, hardened forms. Each canvas transforms forgotten materials into eternal shapes, reviving fabrics once worn as second skins. The odd folds and textures capture the remnants of lives once lived, inviting viewers to reflect on the hidden beauty within the discarded. This set introduces the theme of giving new life to what was once overlooked, setting the tone for the collection’s deeper exploration of resilience and transformation.
