► Shape Memory
The transformation of metal under the influence of external forces until it reaches its final form: the utensil.
The piece explores the journey of metal, from its raw state to its transformation into a functional object. Metal is viewed here as a material subjected to stresses, shaped by a succession of physical forces: heat, pressure, torsion and abrasion.
The project brings these invisible forces to the fore in order to make them perceptible. It reveals the internal tensions, deformations and successive impacts that gradually sculpt the material until it takes on its final form.
