treasure
Treasure is a series that makes invisible systems visible through the repurposed materials those systems leave behind.
The works are built from objects recovered after use: packaging, containers, and discarded surfaces that once carried a product through production, distribution, and consumption. Each carries the trace of the system it passed through, held open to view.
The series reads the everyday surface as evidence. A wrapper, a label, a printed layer is not waste; it is the residue of decisions about value, visibility, and disposal. The repurposed material is a conceptual choice: the discarded object is treated as a primary source for the systems that produced it.
Treasure points to production animals and food systems as the underlying structure. The materials that arrive at the bin are the same materials the system relies on to keep its labour, costs, and consequences out of sight. The series opens up selective invisibility, where being unseen is not absence but a maintained social form.
