Pressure

Pressure turns absence into a tangible limit. The metal does not simply give way: it adapts to a presence withheld from sight. An invisible force alters what seems resistant. The work sets the solidity of the material against the vulnerability of its form. It can speak of other people's needs internalised, of a bond that continues to determine gestures and decisions, of the time needed to stop arranging life around someone who is missing. Deformation is a relationship that has become structure. Matter records an encounter without revealing its protagonist.
