. The piece combine’s a few ‘strong’ materials, in a fragile, weak condition or appearance. Bound, pierced, labeled, marked, knotted together. Steel, iron, tin, silver and hematite. Hematite is the mineral form of iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3) one of several iron oxides. Hematite is coloured black to steel and harder than pure iron, but much more brittle. It is mined as the main ore of iron. I assemble these materials as fragments and reconstruct images to correspond and reflect on my surrounding, the world I live in every day. It feels like creating a new reality, a scene, that becomes a medium for human contemplation, persuading to show us something: yourself in your world..
