The artwork reimagines discarded everyday materials as part of a striking, layered composition. With elements like a lemon bag fishnet, crumpled paper, and fabric swatches, the piece challenges perceptions of value and beauty. The central photograph of a figure, contrasted with these repurposed materials, invites viewers to reconsider what we often label as ‘junk’ or ‘trash.’ By blending high fashion imagery with throwaway items, the work explores themes of sustainability, and transformation, while prompting us to rethink how we value resources as well as their potential for renewal.
