Field notes

The practice begins with discarded and donated materials—especially bottle caps, bread tags, single-use plastics, and reclaimed toys—and moves through sorting, community collection, and large-scale assembly. The page reports more than 5,500 caps rescued and cites projects for the Metuchen Downtown Alliance, Woodbridge Township, MLK Elementary School, and Middlesex Greenway. It also identifies Win as an M.Ed.-holding former elementary educator who leads recycled-art workshops and youth programs.
