What if trash had a second, beautiful life?

Through Spazzatura Disegno (Italian for ‘Garbage Design’) artist Purva Chawla turns both domestic and industrial waste streams into bold sculptures, often mimicking natural and anthropomorphic forms that challenge our notions of beauty and value.

Using a wide, and growing palate of waste - ranging from discarded plastic packaging, broken toys, metal hardware to trashed textiles, she reshapes what has been traditionally undervalued and discarded into striking forms that can be wall or ceiling mounted, but also free standing. These pieces are both a celebration and a confrontation: gilded and glowing, yet made from what we ignore and fear. It is waste reimagined, to its highest potential.
