Danielle Mitten explores how reuse, repair, and sharing reflect a culture of care within our community. This artwork reflects the networks of creativity and generosity that keep materials in circulation and out of landfills. Inspired by the act of passing something from hand to hand in community spaces like clothing swaps, donation drives, or yard sales, while the composition emphasizes repetition, linking individual stories into a shared narrative. Mitten's own connection to this theme comes from lifelong habits of making and mending. While large-scale change depends on shifts in production, design, and policy, this work celebrates how community values can help influence those directions. Emphasizing that care for the earth is a collaborative effort rather than an individual moral pass or fail.
