Copper forms, reduced to silhouettes of jewellery, rest within transparent PVC vessels filled with brine, vinegar, or urine. They reference the body, yet their function as ornament is suspended. Immersed in corrosive fluids, surfaces shift, colours change, and material slowly yields, revealing transformation as inevitable.

The pieces retain a sense of tactility, as though they were made to be handled. This sensorial quality contrasts sharply with the smooth, impermeable surfaces of the vessels that enclose them, creating a tension between desire to touch and the impossibility of direct engagement.

Containment suggests preservation, yet decay unfolds regardless. Time is traced across the span of human perception. Stability is illusory; permanence exists only as a fleeting concept. The work asks: what meaning lies in continuity, when all matter evolves beyond control? Significance emerges not from stasis, but from witnessing the fleeting, transient nature of existence.
