Second Life Alchemy: Artwork by Cayla Paukstat
“Second Life Alchemy is a collection born from transformation. Discarded materials are reborn as dreamlike relics. Each piece begins as something forgotten, broken, or overlooked, and through my brush, it shifts into a world of shadowy whimsy and quiet magic. I work with recycled and reclaimed materials to create art that feels both ancient and newly awakened, like artifacts rescued from another lifetime. This collection invites viewers to witness the beauty in reinvention. How every object, just like every person, can be remade into something extraordinary.” -Cayla Paukstat
