This round tote began as a coffee sack — a utilitarian object made to carry goods across long distances. Now reshaped into something new, it holds onto parts of its history: an unhooked frog motif from the original design, and fragments of printed text woven into the new pattern.
Full Circle speaks to the bag’s transformation — a return of sorts, where a once-discarded object is reimagined through color, texture, and form. The preserved elements from its past life are not just remnants; they’re anchors. In allowing them to remain, the piece asks us to consider what we keep visible, what we cover, and how we give new shape to what already exists.
It’s about reuse, yes — but also about re-seeing. About honoring the original story while adding a new one. A circle that never quite closes, but keeps moving forward in another form.
