​In 2009, I made one of the biggest changes in my life, I switched the green
for the gray, I moved from San Jose, Costa Rica, to New York, USA. When I
say "green" and "gray", I am not only referring to the real jungle versus the
concrete jungle, but also to the different ways in which people interact with
each other, and how differently they consume and throw away in these two
cities. I strongly believe that we are more what we throw away than what we consume. I see trash bags on the streets as portraits of the people who filled
them in, I use plastic bags as a way to tell a story about a particular place in a particular time, I see trash as everyone's resource rather than everyone's
problem and I see inspiration where people do not even look.

LESS WASTE, MORE ART! =)
