Reviving Plastics is a project initiated by my concerns with the excessive amounts of waste humans produce and the ease with which we discard plastics. I chose to work with plastic bottles I collected in my studio, in an attempt to elevate their value and highlight them as materials. This transformation was done by taking the humble, unappreciated plastic bottle, manipulating it in different ways in order to give it a second life as delicate, yet beautiful jewellery.
