I use discarded cardboard boxes from daily life as materials.I do not color them at all, keeping their original shapes as much as possible.As an artist, I aim to breathe new life into discarded objects and reconstruct them as art. I draw inspiration from their textures, shapes, and colors. Each piece, displayed as an installation, is balanced within the whole. Through the themes of regeneration, memory, transformation and the passage of time, I reveal the charm and potential of the material. These works aim to find new value in discarded objects and make us reconsider the creative potential.
