"Walks Beside Me" is a piece that holds a deep personal significance for me. Crafted from recycled glass, this artwork represents my dedication to environmental conservation and sustainable practices.

The hand, depicted in vibrant green, symbolizes my own touch and the impact we all have on our surroundings. The swirl emerging from the hand signifies the endless cycle of life and the intricate connections that bind us to nature. By choosing to work with recycled materials, I aim to highlight the potential in what is often discarded, transforming waste into something beautiful and meaningful.

The rich green tones evoke the lushness of nature, serving as a reminder of the earth's vitality and the urgent need to protect and preserve it. Each element in this piece is a testament to the belief that even materials deemed useless can be reimagined and repurposed into art.

"Walks Beside Me" is more than just a visual experience; it is an invitation to reflect on our relationship with the environment. Through this work, I hope to inspire others to consider sustainable practices and appreciate the interconnectedness of all life.

By sharing "Walks Beside Me," I invite you to join me in walking alongside nature, cherishing its beauty, and committing to its preservation for future generations. This piece is a reminder that our actions today shape the world of tomorrow.
