Sabine Timm is an artist and illustrator from Düsseldorf. Eagle eyed Sabine creates works of art from tiny discarded items that she's found.
While the rest of us see litter and rubbish, Sabine sees something else. She sees the artistic potential in the bits and bobs that other people throw away; those unwanted or broken items that get left in the street are given a new lease of life and are turned into beautiful miniature sculptures.
Her works contain a mixture of small plastic items such as toys, and natural elements such as leaves, flowers and twigs. With her inventive mind she creates a scene and often incorporates her own unique illustrations resulting in some stunning images.
