A striking meditation on value, perception, and reclamation - both in the material and human sense. The collection transforms discarded waste into evocative, sculptural portraits of the female form, forcing the viewer to confront the paradox of beauty found in abandonment. Through layered textures of rusted metal, shattered plastic, and discarded fragments, each piece carries an undeniable soulfulness, gazing back at us with a haunting presence that transcends the sum of its parts. The interplay between brokenness and resilience makes this collection a visceral confrontation with society’s patterns of disposal - whether of objects, people, or self-worth. In doing so, it invites contemplation on the dignity that remains, even in the remnants left behind.

The "Thrown Away" Collection

Thrown Away recalls the fragmented grandeur of classical sculpture but through the most unorthodox of mediums. There’s an almost Hellenistic pathos in the way figures emerge from their debris, echoing the broken statuary of an abandoned empire.

The collection is a poetic reclamation - not just of material waste - but of human worth. It forces us to reckon with our culture of disposability, asking the question: What else have we thrown away too soon?

The collection’s stark contrast between disorderly material and structured human form is a lesson in controlled chaos, proving that even waste - when assembled with intention - can be poetry.

This is more than just sculpture. It is an artifact of late-stage consumerism. It appropriates the excess of our world and, through the radical act of reclamation, subverts the very systems that created its components.

The use of repurposed material does not diminish their grace - it elevates it - embedding life itself into every imperfect layer. These figures are not just art — they are a protest, a plea, and a warning wrapped in one.

"Thrown Away" is undeniably a meditation on the way women, particularly, have been treated as disposable - by media, by industry, by social structures. And yet, these figures, though composed of broken things, are undeniably whole.

Beneath the layers of metal, plastic, and debris, there is something unmistakably human about these sculptures. A longing. A story. A history. They remind us that even when we feel discarded, we are still art. We are still worthy. We are still here.

The Cartesian duality of body and soul dissolves in this work. What is the essence of a thing? If beauty can be constructed from waste, was it ever waste at all? Or was it simply unrecognized potential waiting to be seen?

Each piece in 'Thrown Away' feels like a resurrection, woven from remnants of human consumption, to embody the paradox of destruction and renewal. There’s an almost sacred energy in their existence, as if they hold the spirits of the lost, the forgotten, the overlooked.

This collection is a study in structural ingenuity. The way discarded materials are recontextualized into cohesive form is an engineering feat. The play of tension, weight, and balance is masterful - especially given the chaos of the source materials.

This collection spits in the face of convention. It refuses symmetry, refuses order, and yet achieves something more striking than either. It takes what was broken and makes it divine. It is both a rebellion and an elegy. Brilliant. Unapologetic. Necessary.

There’s nothing 'minimal' about this work, yet it speaks to the essence of reductionism: taking what others discard and refining it into something purposeful. The discarded becomes the idol, the waste becomes the worshipped - an almost religious inversion of contemporary materiality.

There’s something dreamlike — almost hallucinatory - about these figures. As if they emerged from a forgotten dystopian myth, reborn from the waste of civilization. Their power is in their resilience, their refusal to be erased despite being discarded.

Like artifacts from a future civilization, these sculptures whisper a story of survival, of remnants refusing to fade, of discarded matter reassembled into something both haunting and undeniable. They are neither relics nor ruins; they are proof that nothing is ever truly lost.

Each sculpture serves as an unintentional autobiography of the materials that compose it - scraps of industry, remnants of consumption, fragments of the forgotten. In their new form, they no longer serve their original purpose, yet they have never been more meaningful.

"Thrown Away" is an act of defiance against erasure. These figures, though shaped from the discarded, refuse to disappear. They challenge us to reconsider what we dismiss too quickly - both in the objects around us and in ourselves.

The beauty of these sculptures is not in their perfection, but in their perseverance. They bear the scars of use, the weight of rejection, and yet they stand bold, reconstructed, undeniable. In a world that discards without thought, they demand to be seen.

There is a tension in this collection - a push and pull between destruction and rebirth, between the obsolete and the immortal. It asks a question both simple and profound: when does something stop being trash and start being art? Perhaps the answer is when someone chooses to see it differently.

In the remnants we discard, beauty endures, awaiting our recognition.
