Biomimicry engages materials deemed without value. Using discarded plastic bags—transparent skins of consumption—Julia Hung fuses them through heat and pressure into organic forms that appear to breathe. Resisting hierarchies of worth, the work reflects on processes of transformation and questions how value is assigned and who determines what is expendable.
