It can expand to become a force within its\u00a0 surroundings by appropriating a new identity while maintaining its own individuality. Its original plasticity will become a new artistic expression. Reconstructing Sandy series\u00a0addresses the daily stress of individuals when facing a global crisis that is affecting us all. Through my sculptures, I want to contribute to a greater climate change awareness as it may affect us all in the near future and reach a point of no return.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4164\" style=\"width: 234px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Re-constructing7-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4164\" class=\"wp-image-4164 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Re-constructing7-copy-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"Re-constructing7 copy\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Re-constructing7-copy-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Re-constructing7-copy-765x1024.jpg 765w, https:\/\/gaiastudio.org\/wonderwomen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Re-constructing7-copy.jpg 956w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4164\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traces.
