The concept behind Revivify is concerned with 'returning an inanimate manufactured product into something more permanent. After it was deemed as an ineffective or non-reusable component heading for landfill'.

​

This work was inspired by the documentary piece Waste Lands: Located just outside Rio de Janeiro, Jardim Gramacho, Brazil, is the world's largest garbage landfill. Modern artist Vik Muniz works with the so-called catadores, the men and women who pick through the refuse, to create art out of recycled materials. Muniz selects six of the garbage pickers to pose as subjects in a series of photographs mimicking famous paintings. In his desire to assist the catadores and change their lives, Muniz finds himself changed as well.  (. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNlwh8vT2NU) . It was this emotive film that envoked me to see the everyday disposible item in a new and creative way.
