"Selfies: The Recycled Child"
A contemporary exploration of vulnerability and self-discovery, Selfies: The Recycled Child transforms the concept of self-portraiture. Using mixed media and recycled materials, this collection weaves identity and reinvention into authentic works that reject digital perfection.
Rooted in themes of resilience and transformation, the pieces examine the intersection of identity and performance in an era dominated by social media. Recycled materials—scraps of daily life—are layered and reassembled into portraits that tell stories of growth, healing, and reclaimed value.
In a world seeking validation through filters and curated personas, this collection offers raw, unfiltered truths. It proves that art, like identity, can thrive in imperfection and provokes viewers to reimagine their perceptions of the value and beauty of the things we discard.
