Myra’s practice centres on material transformation, raising questions about sustainability, consumerism, the meaning of man-made objects, and our impact on nature. She explores the tragedy that the meaning and importance we assign to objects—though deeply human—can ultimately contribute to environmental harm, as their production drives pollution and habitat loss, affecting both non-human species and humans alike.
Her work also draws from the culture of the business world, addressing issues of diversity and power.
