electroplated objects

This body of work consists of sculptures created through the process of electroforming. Their surfaces appear rough, organic, and weathered, as if shaped by time itself. Over the years, the copper has developed its own patina, lending the objects the appearance of archaeological finds unearthed from an ancient site.

The sculptures originate from a variety of materials or, in some cases, from delicate copper wire alone. Through electrochemical deposition, their surfaces become coated with copper in a process that resembles a metamorphosis. The resulting forms are organic and often coral-like, evoking natural growth, geological formations, or relics transformed by time and the elements. Green, dark, and black patinas contribute to an atmosphere of age and transience.

The concept of vanitas plays an important role in these works. Beauty is found in imperfection, fragility, and decay. Although newly created, the sculptures appear aged, carrying traces of a history they never lived. They speak of transformation, the passage of time, and the dignity of impermanence. They invite a moment of reflection on what has been, what is, and what may forever remain beyond our grasp.

At the same time, the works reflect on human culture and creativity. We take materials from the earth, transform them into objects, and eventually return them to the earth once again. In this cycle of creation and dissolution, the sculptures become metaphors for life itself - reminders of the continuous processes of growth, change, and return that connect all living things.
