Across this work, material experiments settle into a temporal synchrony. Copper fragments, lattices, and remnants of impression trace a state of existence beyond bare need. Skill does not manifest as mastery, but as an intention that defies decimation.

The work reflects on an early threshold in human culture, when techniques were first carried collectively rather than individually. To hold, to use, and to pass down becomes a tradition – one that does not always survive the tide of time.
