This space marks the beginning of a more personal, research-led thread in my work, where I can go deeper into process, material, and meaning.

My current project, Weight of Waste, is both a quiet protest and a celebration. It began with a growing discomfort—an unease with the excess, disposability, and greenwashing that run through the design industry—and a need to engage more directly with what already exists. I’ve been collecting discarded materials: leather and fabric remnants from fashion and interior sample books, lanyards from festivals and trade shows, old furniture and objects destined for landfill. Materials that once held promise, purpose, and beauty—and now speak of time, abandonment, and potential.

The act of weaving becomes both physical and metaphorical: stitching together fragments, stories, and time. It’s not just about reuse, but about listening—allowing these objects to speak, and crafting a different kind of narrative. One that is tactile, emotional, and unfinished.

Each piece carries a Digital Product Passport, revealing its full life story—from sourcing to making. This isn’t just a technical layer—it’s a form of resistance. A call for radical transparency. A way to challenge an industry that so often hides its waste, its labour, and its consequences behind polished surfaces and carefully controlled narratives.

Weight of Waste is still evolving. It lives somewhere between art, design, and archive—a space where value is redefined, and waste becomes a material of memory, protest, and possibility.
