About the Artwork

Placed between the balloon and the acrylic sheet, the rusted blade creates a fragile structure that could collapse at any moment. The tension among these three elements is formed by pressure, vulnerability, and suspended risk. Their shifting condition reveals qualities that the digital cannot easily process, such as material uncertainty, temporal drift, and the instability that emerges from physical encounters rather than controlled systems.
 
Through this unstable configuration, the work presents the analogue not as a nostalgic alternative to the digital but as a way of understanding shaped by approximation, decay, and slow material change. It highlights a mode of perception grounded in attention, uncertainty, and sensitivity to forces that accumulate over time.
