This installation depicts an abstract world where three building materials—once hidden within our walls—are released from their functional roles due to the building’s demolition. What was once concealed, structurally framing the building like a skeleton, has been liberated by destruction. Transformed from straight lines into organic curves, the force of demolition allows the materials to escape their utilitarian form. A material once seen as a fragile, flat surface—meant to insulate—is fractured, revealing itself as a strong and fundamental base. Another, originally designed to evenly seal gaps and passageways within the wall, now erupts into a wild, dense texture, as if shaped by an earthquake. Enriched with salt, its mixture provokes the skeleton to rust, dissolve, and bleed. What appears damaged may seem unfunctional. Yet freed from their intended use, these elements evolve. The species of our walls grow a body—one not of architecture, but of a creature. A body of damage.
