Solo show

Flowers’ Audition is an exhibition of resin sculptures that constructs an ambiguous material culture in which flowers are not treated as natural motifs, but as active characters within a shifting system of personification, projection and description.

The works are made from pitch-like resin, a dense and unstable material that gives the sculptures a simultaneous sense of organic growth and artificial fixation. Within this condition, each form appears suspended between object, body and linguistic attribute, as if language itself were materially condensed into sculptural presence.

Rather than representing flowers, the exhibition treats them as agents of expression: figures that can be described, qualified and enacted, but never fully stabilised into a single identity. The floral becomes a site of attribution, where adjectives and names behave as forces that shape form rather than merely describe it.

Across the installation, sculpture operates as a threshold between materiality and language. The resin surfaces suggest both preservation and transformation, producing a tension between permanence and volatility, visibility and obscurity.

In this context, Flowers’ Audition functions as a testing ground for forms of personification: a space in which vegetal life is continuously translated into character, voice and narrative potential, without resolving into fixed symbolic meaning.

The exhibition thus proposes a material poetics in which description becomes generative, and where sculpture, rather than illustrating flowers, allows them to emerge as unstable fictional presences.
