The main intention behind these art books revolves around the idea of art being recycled or in other words producing a piece of artwork that is evolving from already existing materials. The materials used and found are in my immediate vicinity and by intervening on it minimally, the material or object remains recognizable, I do not erase its trace but allow it to get involved. In agreement with the intervention, I shape its original intention in an equal way. This work you can touch, feel its textures, smell, hold in your hands. By deconstructing I'm reframing the meanings, reducing, erasing, censoring, and/or outlining certain imagery or visual concepts.
