American artist Rachel Perry Welty created this series called 'Lost My Life' using [vibrant items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorama) and pieces, organizing them in a creative and unique manner to showcase her artistic talents.

Using thousands of [thrown away items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/assemblage-7-lost-and-found-ii), Welty organizes these pieces to present a form of unity amongst the gathered items. Causing the audience of her works to get lost amongst the clutter, Rachel Perry Welty definitely transforms the concepts of organization and what would appear to most as "junk" into brilliant artworks.
