About



In this series of miniature sculptures, chewed gum — a material of fleeting, bodily intimacy — is transfigured into permanence through the casting of Chromium-Cobalt-Molybdenum alloy, an industrial metal known for its use in prosthetics and dental applications. What begins as a soft, disposable remnant of everyday consumption is solidified into an enduring relic, merging the organic gesture of the mouth with the precision of metallurgical craft.

The process captures a moment of transformation from the ephemeral to the eternal: traces of human presence become sculptural fossils. The gum’s original elasticity, shaped by the unconscious choreography of chewing, is translated into metallic form, preserving the imprints of touch, pressure, and rhythm. Each object becomes a record of an intimate performance — a personal, bodily act rendered in the language of industrial production.
