Art for Trash featuring "Our Waste"

I am an eco-artivist, or ‘rubbish artist’. In 2019 I launched the “Art for Trash” initiative, as part of what I named the “ArtWORKivism” movement. The aim is to bring eco-artivism inside business offices, and to stimulate environmental responsibility in the professional sphere, hence speeding up the process of change toward a sustainable economy. It involves the employees collecting a selection of their office daily waste, which I then use to make artworks for their office. promoting rubbish as an object which has a story, a value, and which deserves a second chance: from waste to wonder.

Torn between optimism and surrender, she believes in a future through systemic re-thinking. Every tessera she creates is a protest against our disposable lifestyle and embodies hope.

Gesamtkunstwerk, her eco-artivism encompasses every aspect of her life, from veganism to renewables, second-hand (…) to not flying, as she strives to walk the talk.
