Bonsai series
Bonsai – State of Form
Within the series, form is not understood as a fixed condition, but as a temporary state. It can disappear, change, or be reorganised. This language of form reveals human actions and systems: processes of control, limitation and appropriation, as well as adaptation and assimilation.
-
The works show how structures are imposed and subsequently used, shifted or undermined. Residual forms and imprints function as traces of these actions. What remains visible is not only the form itself, but the operations that have acted upon it.
Different states of form appear throughout the series: as afterform, as a vessel in which structure is absorbed, and as a configuration in which elements are repeatedly reorganised. Structure is not fixed, but emerges through position and relation.
Time plays an essential role. Processes of growth, displacement and decay are not depicted directly, but become visible through the way forms adapt, disintegrate or reassemble. This creates a tension between control and autonomy, between the constructed and the organic.
The series makes visible that form is not an endpoint, but a temporary manifestation within a continuous process of transformation. Meaning emerges in the relation between presence and absence, and in what remains when an original form disappears or transforms.
