A Valley reclamation artist is using his talents to take action for Texas.
Armando Heredia, who has some Texas roots himself, was in Houston and collected debris from homes for his art.
"It's heartbreaking to hear these stories and to literally see peoples lives out on the sidewalk," said Heredia.
The art depicts symbols of Texas.
"I made them specifically about the State of Texas, not memorializing the weather event and the reason why is because Harvey happened to these people but it's not who they are," said Heredia
The auction of the collection started Friday over social media and will run through Sunday.
All of the proceeds will go to buy sheetrock to rebuild homes.
"My goal is for it to really be for single mothers and the elderly. A lot of people didn't have flood insurance because in a lot of the areas that flooded they didn't think they needed it," explained Heredia.
Heredia tells ABC15 the sheetrock will cost seven dollars a sheet. They're hoping to buy as much as they can.
