I have developed a habit of collecting rubbish such as old toys, used things, broken furniture. What other people see as garbage, I see as potential art. Of course, it’s not art in the state I find it. The process I go through from the raw materials to a finished piece is not complex at all. First, I take the collected rubbish to my studio and play around with different combinations to see if I can find some inspiration. I do this for a few days or a week before I have an idea about what I want to create.

The pieces I create are mostly animal sculptures. A few times a year I get invited to display my favorite sculptures at exhibitions. I also create more practical, usable art. Some examples include vases made from glass bottles, lamps made from irons or blow dryers, and pencil boxes made from plastic containers. I take these items to the local market and sell them.
