“Using thrifted canvases is a conscious part of my practice and a reflection of my commitment to sustainability. By repurposing discarded canvases, I can reduce waste while giving overlooked canvases a second life. Each canvas carries its own history— marks, textures, and imperfections that inform the final work rather than limiting it. This process challenges the idea that art must begin with something new, instead embracing reuse as an act of care and responsibility. Working on thrifted canvases allows my practice to align with my values, where creation becomes not only a visual statement but also an ethical one.”
