READY-MADE FROM THE SEA

PART THREE / Stranded Sculptures

From the long-term project " and when you look closely"

In the series READY-MADE FROM THE SEA, I discovered on the beaches of Morocco formations of fragments—silent testimonies of dead organisms and plants. These sediments of the Anthropocene speak of a constant material exchange between humans and nature and of a merging that reflects the essence of our era. The sculptural objects connect geological archives with our mental memories. The materials accumulated over centuries now form new, toxic sediment layers from human civilization, which merge with organic remnants into a collective archive of our time—an archive that deserves to be studied and questioned.
