Artist Statement

The Melting Strip explores the boundary between solid and fluid form. Its surface captures distortion as a visual language—waves, folds, and mirrored vortices that shift with light and perspective. The piece is conceived as a suspended moment: metal caught mid-flow, held in tension between gravity and form.
The rolled top edge suggests release, while the bottom drip anchors the sculpture in a state of transformation—an object that appears to be both emerging and dissolving at once. Through the Mercury Effect technique, the material behaves like a reflective skin that records its surroundings as moving patterns, making the work alive to environment and viewer.
