Alissa Alfonso's soft sculptures celebrate the beauty and resilience of nature, while also calling attention to the harm that humans have caused to the environment. Her Nature's Medicine series, made from repurposed found objects, reflects the abundance and waste characteristic of modern life. She meticulously crafts from textile remnants and hand-dyed fabrics to evoke the essence of medicinal plants, fungi, and botanicals.
