The Work

This artwork is composed of everyday materials such as paper, fabric, wire, soil, plastic, foam, and found objects—including a cushioned shoe insert. Together, these elements evoke a sense of things either falling apart or coming together. The piece feels both fragile and confrontational. Running your hand across its surface reveals a wide range of textures—from rough to soft, from natural debris to synthetic materials. Some areas shift and respond to touch, while others remain rigid and unmoving.
