Entities: A Field of Imaginary Games
MFA THESIS EXHIBITION
Objects-symbols offered as interactive sculptures for free play. Entities are things that assume a greater or different role than their usual one; they become metaphors for emotional states, memories, and storytelling.
This dreamlike installation features large sculptures crafted from light and soft materials such as polyurethane foam, plastic waste, and paper. The choice of materials not only transforms waste to art but also imbues the Entities with a friendly, fluid, and even personified quality.
