Drinking Responsible

I was intrigued by the idea of turning something mundane and discarded into a work of art. The crunched cans had a unique texture and shine that caught my eye, and I knew I had to capture that essence in my photography.

I experimented with different lighting techniques and angles to enhance the reflective quality of the aluminum. I wanted to create a sense of movement and depth in my photos, drawing the viewer in and making them see the cans in a new light.

When someone compared my work to Andy Warhol, I was both flattered and inspired. Warhol was known for his unconventional approach to art and his ability to transform everyday objects into iconic pieces. I saw a parallel in my own work with the crunched Topo Chico cans – taking something ordinary and elevating it to a new level of beauty and intrigue.

As I continued to explore this theme in my paintings, I found myself pushing the boundaries of my creativity and seeing the world around me in a different way. The crunched cans became a symbol of transformation and reinvention, a reminder that beauty can be found in the most unexpected places. And in that moment, I realized that art truly is everywhere – you just have to be willing to see it.
