Models of Contemplation
Rather than presenting finish works, this group of objects highlights the process behind them. The objects represent different ways thoughts are materialised and become tangible.
Some of them were made while not thinking about anything in particular but they did follow a certain framework, such as making lines that become circles connecting to each other or sculpting a single loop with no beginning or ending. Some were made while not knowing what to do but the process of shaping something in the hands allowed time for new ideas to emerge.
