The Liquid State series articulates a sustained investigation into the mutable relationship between geometry, materiality, and perception. Through a process of intentional manipulation, initially rigid forms are subjected to a gradual softening, their structural certainties dissolved by the artist’s precise interventions. At the conceptual core lies an exploration of light as a fluid agent, shifting the focus from the material properties of the object to the immaterial dynamics of illumination. The meticulously polished metal surfaces operate as active mediators, their curvatures refracting and redirecting light to produce an optical liquidity that destabilizes conventional distinctions between solidity and flow. In this way, the series proposes light not merely as a means of revelation, but as a transformative substance in its own right, capable of reconfiguring both form and perception.
