Materials:Repurposed Metal of Unknown Origin, Branch (Recovered from an Abandoned Hospital), Steel Reinforcement, Soil.
The form of a material determines its movement and shapes its relationship with others. Metal remains rigid, while branches extend and bend—each following its own logic of growth, yet constrained within the same structure. Compressed into a geometric form, soil exists between the natural and the artificial, serving both as support and as a form of containment.
Straight lines and curves, support and expansion, rigidity and fragility coexist. The contrast between materials makes their properties more distinct, yet these relationships remain unstable. The form of the soil is imposed by external force, yet it retains the potential to settle or erode. The connections between metal and wood appear secure, yet they exist in a precarious balance, as if waiting for a shift to occur.
The work explores the state of materials at the threshold—how they adjust within imposed structures, how they extend, stall, or break apart in their unfinished state.
