Michigan artist Ted Lott has been crafting unique art pieces by transforming vintage suitcases and furniture into miniature houses. Each creation reflects Lott's artistic vision tailored to the object's past, such as turning a 1920s suitcase into an art deco home. Central to Lott's work is the concept of shelter, paired with a focus on migration and the rich, often challenging histories behind it. His art encapsulates the uncertainty and sacrifices surrounding the immigrant experience, reminding viewers of the diverse backgrounds that contribute to the nation's fabric.
