I love creating art by turning cardboard boxes into paintings and sculptures. I reclaim discarded cardboard boxes and reshape them into sculptural forms, punk couture, and bold visual narrative. My work blurs the lines between fashion, sculpture, and painting, fueled by a spirit of rebellion and renewal. Each piece confronts the past, identity, and value—my act of resistance and rebirth.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the balance between control and chaos, seen in architecture and nature. Buildings show human ambition, limits, and progress, while nature keeps us connected to the wild and essential parts of life. These elements motivate me to push boundaries and explore new possibilities.
What would you do with $25,000?I plan to use the fund for: A professional printer for high-quality art prints. Paint and ink supplies. A laser cutter for precise design cutting. Exhibition frames. Fees for art shows and pop-up exhibitions. Marketing expenses. Donating art prints to my local community hospital.
