Ash—a residue that is both end and beginning—mixes with charcoal and pigments to create a dense, cracked, and vibrant surface that functions as a geological terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gears introduce an industrial and mechanical memory that contrasts with the organic nature of the ash and coal. These metallic fragments, removed from their original function, are reinterpreted as sculptural elements that bear the marks of time, wear, and obsolescence. The dialogue between the natural and the industrial articulates a reflection on cycles, transformation, and permanence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntimate format and intense presence\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach layer, applied, sanded, and eroded, reveals strata of material memory. The natural textures of the coal provide depth and luminous contrasts, while the gears generate spatial tensions and the pigments modulate chromatic intensity without losing the material's sobriety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its small size (11.5 x 15 cm), the work possesses a sculptural presence that transcends the two-dimensional surface.
