Exuviae, 2026
Sculpture, composite
110 × 65 × 50 cm
The sculpture considers the body as a form of home that does not emerge from the outside, but gradually takes shape through lived experience. The human figure is neither placed inside the shell nor leaving it. Their forms merge and develop together. The spine echoes the spiral, and the boundary between body and shell becomes almost imperceptible. The head, positioned at the open edge of the shell, is a gesture of listening inward. Here, the person is not an inhabitant of the home; they become the very process of its formation. The spiral of the sculpture records time. Experience accumulates turn after turn, slowly transforming the body. Home is understood not as a place or a shelter, but as a state that one gradually begins to carry within. The sculpture preserves the sensation of slow transformation – an almost imperceptible process in which the body and lived experience become inseparable.
