MessageCollection: Paper People
Inspired by my time spent with the Maasai, I borrow their phrase for foreigners, "Paper People" to explore vulnerability through medium and place. Stylized slabs are made from up-cycled paper-pulp with odds-and-ends embellishments, capturing a chic aura juxtaposed with a mood hinting at lost civilizations.
I reveal that even the most mundane of resources can be used in fascinating ways.
For me, creating has always been a companion, allowing me to make sense of seemingly uncontrolled situations through controlled mediums.
