“According to recent research, some birds recycle human-made anti-birds spikes to build their nest. In this both sad and humorous phenomena, my foraging of trash has resonance to birds survival and place making in increasing human actions against nature. Its structure solely built off of my neighborhood trash I scavenged in my everyday walk in Pasadena, California, and decorated with over sixty variable materials all stated above. This assemblage piece is titled Cathedral, which is drawn from my childhood memory of a sanctified space being built to reconcile brokenness and seeks for renewal of interconnectedness among us humans and beyond. I adorned this mountain like a Cathedral with everyday waste of my neighbor's trash, rescued and reborn to be sacred materials.”
