Poché #1Digital / Physical Sculpture W 780mm x H 630mm x D 220mm
Poché—the hidden space between the layers of a wall—it’s like that space where flesh and structure meld together, blurring the line between the organic and the constructed. This sculpture plays with that fusion, evoking a sense of bio-mimicry, where boundaries dissolve but never fully separate. Even when forms pull apart, there’s a lingering connection—like sinews stretching between divided parts, holding onto what once was whole. It’s an exploration of those delicate, unseen threads that keep things tethered, the stuff beneath the surface that slips through unnoticed yet refuses to fully let go.
