Je suis La Matière

17th April — 7th December, 2026

A series of works in cast white bronze, Murano glass, and recycled materials explores the cosmic tension between matter, perception, and invisible color

The series begins with cosmic rocks, their stratified structures and fractured patterns informing the visual language of the works. These references are translated across metal, Murano glass, and recycled materials, with each medium carrying the memory of the same geological and celestial formations. As the process develops, textures shift and reappear in new states. Metal takes on the character of meteorite surfaces, while glass echoes similar rhythms of fracture, density, and suspended movement

Although instinctive in appearance, the works are shaped through a precise and deliberate process. Matter is not forced into a fixed form, but allowed to guide the object’s final presence. The result is a series of pieces that feel suspended between formation and dissolution, as if still undergoing transformation

Je suis La Matière proposes material as something alive, unstable, and continually reshaped. In doing so, the series reflects a broader cosmic order, where the visible world is never complete, but always expanding, breaking, and becoming something else
