The Play: a quest for what seems lost
This research stems from a profound desire to engage in constant play.
It has its origins in a sense of pressure and urgency that I feel is increasingly present in our daily lives and has an impact on our inclination towards playfulness.
For me, play represents a form of freedom that I strive to maintain. The start of my project involved examining everyday objects that I encountered while cycling past dumpsters. Among these objects, colored tubes particularly captured my attention, serving as the initial inspiration for my research.
My curiosity is directed towards materials that have been discarded, lost their function, or are damaged.
I perceive an unexplored potential in these materials, an impulse to engage in play. Materials retrieved from dumpsters and discarded fishing ropes become the instruments of my research, enabling me to create an interplay of color, matter, and texture.
The use of discarded materials also allows the creation of monumental works.
The knotting technique used is chosen for its extensive possibilities. Exploring the inherent potential of the materials themselves is an important aspect of the creative process. Through this exploration I uncover the capabilities of these materials and translate them into objects designed to evoke a renewed sense of curiosity and wonder.
