What is the Matter
Sculpture, drawing, painting and documentation synthesize a process
that explores the behavior of matter. The primary objective of this attempt
was set on overthrowing the corporeality of the unit and gradually
shifting the focus on repurposing Its functionality and structure.
The starting point and structural element of this study was a trace
of contemporary matter. The underlying principle that transforms
throughout this work is a constant shift of the observatory frame
from tangible to incorporeal things and finally towards the humane.
Those consecutive reinstatements of the creative process led me to focus
on untapped energy rather than channeled energy.
This work self-examines our humanity while simultaneously
reflects on human habit.
Finally, I hope this work will act as a trigger for the viewer to reflect on
the following sequence: Improvement-Utilization-Autonomy-Coexistence.
This is my attempt to analyze visually our Modern world and approach the basic values of existence with a
different mentality, reflecting on the feasibility of the minimum.
