Aidana Baldassarre

The work of Aidana Baldassarre is
driven by the idea of transforming old and discarded elements into new, one-of-a-kind
designs of wearable art in an organic way.

The artist uses simple techniques as
crochet, hand sewing, to create garments from a diverse range of materials.

She also combines plastic from
containers, adding recycled beads in the creation of necklaces and earrings.

Trash is the basically her new raw
material.
