SPATIAL METABOLISMS
A sculpture that breathes, collapses, transforms.
Through these series, sculpture is studied as a living system - one that reconfigures space through the interplay of mass, void, and time. Beyond static forms in search of balance, the structures studied pursue their own metabolism: consuming, shifting, and reshaping themselves from within.
Heavy, solid modules shift, collapse, fragment, and unfold redefining both the space they inhabit and the material relationships between their parts. Void is not absence, but latent tension. Mass is not just weight, but energy poised for movement. Time is not mere duration, but a structural force that drives transformation.
The spatial metabolisms seek to explore spatial sequences of heaviness and lightness, expansion and contraction, where the interplay with time and kinetic motion invites to a new reading of the void.
