The boost: William Amor, transforming waste into a work of art

This Thursday, Anaïs Grangerac makes us smile with William Amor, a modern-day poet. He makes beauty out of ugliness and waste.

In a report broadcast on TF1, William Amor appears as a poet of modern times—an artist who brings beauty to life where we usually see only the ugly.
From plastic waste collected in the streets or in nature, he shapes delicate works, often floral, whose refinement contrasts strikingly with their unexpected origins.

Far from any guilt-inducing discourse, his work proposes an ecology of perception: learning to look differently at what surrounds us, to recognize the hidden value in what we discard.
By transforming refuse into objects of desire, William Amor reminds us that beauty can be a powerful catalyst for awareness—and that art sometimes begins precisely where we choose to look away.
