2021 Creatives in Residence, Kanika Gupta and Amit Kehar, invite you to slow down and take a second look at every day discarded food scraps. Can you look closer and see something beautiful?

With your camera, zoom in and assemble your scraps into character, a landscape, or a different world! What hidden treasures can you find when you do a double take?

Check out what Discarded Treasures Kanika & Amit found in their food scraps
