Nest was my exploration of our tangled relationship with material possessions and the concept of shelter within modern society. We often define ourselves by the trappings of material wealth, using these items to conform to social behavior.
Crafted entirely from discarded items—abandoned belongings and salvaged materials found on the streets—this installation serves as a stark reminder of our consumer habits and their consequences. Each piece tells a story, woven together to form a human nest constructed from society's cast-offs.
