We Start From The Point We Can See
What happens when a healed wound is opened back up? Joys, sufferings, crystallized memories - meeting the moment acting upon them. Ghosts or new beginnings, in the eye of the beholder.

We Start From The Point We Can See is an installation part of the sculpture series Suture: a project that questions the footprints of time on man-made environments and the impact of the latter on its inhabitants. While creating an interdependent dialogue between architectural marks and their contexts, the installation empowers the adjoining environment, making it an integral part of the medium.
Reclaimed tin is used instead of newly extracted material, carrying a history made of previous uses. Through a potentially endless circular process of melting and solidification, it is shaped from setting to setting. Processed in a reversible way, the day Suture eventually loses its installation character, it will immediately become usable for new needs: "Nothing is created, nothing is destroyed, everything is transformed" principle of mass conservation or Lavoisier's law, 1789.
