My artistic practice deals with post-consumer waste from the toy industry by creating awareness through art and design. I deconstruct discarded stuffed animals and recreate them into new forms with a new function. Stuffed animals symbolise our childhood, and in many cases, they were our best friends and most important companions when growing up; therefore, they should be treated as so even when we do not need them anymore.
