Trash-or-art sessions are a mix of meditation, fun, repurposing and upcycling. It's an excellent way to activate (personal) archives in a generative manner. Boxes interest me a lot as forms, for the possibilities, the constraints and the metaphors they offer. Inevitably they become little shrines, full with emotions and memories that overcome their fragmented nature and fuse into new existence: An old photo cut in pieces, a found button, a broken earring, a piece of pastel from my childhood. In a similar manner, I can create a whole moment: A beach scene, fireworks, a starry night, a crab coming out of the sea, mixed with thoughts, anxieties, a humanity that persists and mingles with 'nature' and machine.
