With my work, I open the eye for a different use of the materials we have around us. Everything can be recycled. I make bracelets and necklaces from zippers, buttons and bicycle inner tubes. Belts from neckties. Cardholders from tetra pack. Scarves from pieces of clothes. Bags from army material. I think more of it as re-using, where the characteristic of the material lives on in the new products.
