There are objects that feel designed, and others that feel uncovered.
This piece sits somewhere between the two—a constructed artefact that carries the presence of something already ancient, as if it has endured long before it was ever seen. The structure draws from ceremonial geometry, but the surface refuses to stay still. It shifts between mineral, alloy, and something less defined, as though its material state has been rewritten over time.
What appears mechanical is not clean. Edges soften. Surfaces carry irregularities, interruptions, and the quiet accumulation of use. Nothing here feels newly made. Instead, it suggests continuity—an object that has existed through multiple phases of interpretation, each layer partially obscuring the last.
There is no clear function. No visible interface. And yet it feels purposeful.
The form echoes architectural fragments rather than tools: something embedded, not held. Something that belongs to a system larger than itself, even if that system no longer exists. The symmetry implies intention, but the deviations suggest erosion—time pressing against design until the two become inseparable.
