Thrifted is a mixed-media video piece exploring sustainability and the idea of repurposing art. This digital collage centred on digital typography encourages recycling, reusing, and giving new life to discarded materials. Every visual element (including the butterfly) was sourced from books and magazines purchased at a local thrift store, cut by hand, and then animated in Adobe After Effects to create a tactile, layered aesthetic.
