In this work I explore the process of forming steel through inflating, It is a way of sculpting that breathes life into metal and transforms steel from a flat and unpliable state into something soft, fluid and organic.
Inspired by the organic and "imperfect" nature of forms that can be created through metal inflation, as well as wanting to push the possibilities of the process, 'Coalescence' is made up of several components, flowing coherently together. Like an ecosystem in nature made up of many elements coexisting together, they rely on each other for support. While creating a natural sense of balance, strength, and elegance in the complex arrangement of abstracted form.
The mirror polished steel surfaces appear in constant flux, enhanced by their interaction with light and movement. Reflecting its natural surroundings, the work will adapt its look depending on the weather and time of day.
