Two distinct principles of form-making are joined in a single arrangement in which neither can exist fully on its own. The geometric plinth – a symbol of order, measure and construction – is deformed by a loss of air. Its seemingly stable form is compromised and drawn into a process of transformation.
The organic element clings to the base and appears to drain it of space, air and energy, swelling in volume and significance as a result. It can be read as a kind of parasitic organism, feeding on the form to which it adheres.
Yet the sculpture does not depict a simple conflict, but interdependence. Each form acts upon the other, constraining it while also making its existence possible. The result is an arrangement that appears unstable and yet endures – one founded on constant tension and mutual influence.
