This project explores retrieving lost art through a philosophical lens, challenging human-centric perspectives by uncovering the value of discarded objects. Using hybridization and kitbashing, I create 3D models of waste for new digital products. My master’s thesis investigates the inherent value of objects, focusing on how discarded objects contain untapped metadata. By scanning waste and creating 3D models, I repurpose these objects into new digital forms, finding uses in the digital realm. This project highlights the value in seemingly useless items, blending technology with artistic expression and revealing societal reflections through discarded remnants, ultimately connecting existentialist theories with artistic expression.
