This series explores the tension between form and material by recreating the shape of styrofoam through a casting process using pine resin alone. A form associated with a lightweight, synthetic material is reconstructed in resin, a natural substance released by trees to protect and heal their wounds. By bringing a familiar, artificial-looking form into an entirely different material, the work creates a contrast between the perceived qualities of the form and those of the material itself. Through this encounter, the work considers how seemingly opposing elements—natural and artificial, lightness and weight, form and material—can coexist within a single object and generate a new state of meaning.

The Plan
The Plan
The Plan explores the passage of time and the formation of life through the repeated accumulation of salt. The work gradually takes shape through a daily process of adding small amounts of salt, repetition, and waiting, rather than being completed at once. Just as individual grains accumulate to form a distinct structure, the work reflects on how time and experience gradually accumulate to shape a life. Through this process, The Plan considers the flow of life beyond our complete control or understanding, and the possibility of an invisible order within it.
Material
Salt, natural adhesive
