In his studio in Loíza, Puerto Rico, artist Daniel Lind-Ramos uses found materials to create his sculpture, "María Guabancex," inspired by the artist's experience with Hurricane Maria. Lind-Ramos explains that he often finds materials related to the narrative he's trying to organize and lets the materials activate his imagination.

♪ethereal music♪ I say, "Oh, I have this object and it's related with this narrative that I'm trying to organize."

It's a very organic way of organizing.
