DESCRIPTION: Round sculpture
SIZE: Variable
MATERIAL: Refractory clay, mixed earths, mineral components

Material interaction under transformation

Melting Pot investigates how different materials interact when subjected to heat and pressure.

Elements are combined and partially fused, but they do not fully integrate. Each material retains traces of its origin within the transformed form.

The work focuses on transformation as a condition rather than a final state, where differences persist rather than dissolve.
