Nizam Abdullah, 43, is always on the lookout for reusable items at junkyards or scrap metal shops in the Klang Valley. The award-winning sculptor believes each discarded piece holds the promise of a new life.

"Recycled art extends beyond simply repurposing paper or waste to benefit the environment. It encompasses the utilisation of objects sourced from scrap metal shops to craft unique artworks, transforming discarded items into pieces of artistic expression.
