I collect plastic waste from Bali’s beaches, which is processed into uniform balls by a recycling partner and then crafted into delicate accessories, bottles and hearts, that I integrate into my collages. This transformation of discarded materials into poignant artistic elements not only reinforces my message but also exemplifies the power of renewal and reimagined value in our waste. At the heart of this series stands my flagship piece “We Are All Barbie”, this provocative work offers a daring critique of modern consumption and environmental deception. From a distant perspective it looks like Barbie would snore the obvious substances, but with close observation the viewer will notice that its microplastics and that we all become what we consume.
