Firearms and ammunition are widespread, with countless shell casings scattered across areas worldwide. While this vast arsenal highlights a disturbing aspect of modern life, the spent casings left behind present an unexpected opportunity for artistic expression. When transformed from symbols of conflict into elements of creative work, they challenge our perceptions and can evoke complex emotions. Guns and ammunition are inherently inanimate- nonthreatening until intentionally wielded by someone. This transformation from potential instruments of violence to mediums of art underscores the duality of nature with these materials, emphasizing the importance of choice and intention over inherent peril. The “Scattered Fragments Series” below illustrates this concept of intention and emphasizes how individual choices influence the final result. Each piece reflects the delicate interplay between deliberate decisions and unforeseen consequences, revealing the impact of personal agency within the creative process.
