Affect tends toward warmth, relation, and cohesion. I am interested in the opposite: weight, residue, what leaks out unintentionally. Not darkness as dogma, but the honesty of what the body carries without displaying. I am a sculptor born in Luanco and based in Paris. My work develops through the transformation and assemblage of found materials and objects. Some arrive already charged: a zazen cushion, barrier tape, a chair stripped of its seat, shark teeth, a javelin, the inside of my ear, the tip of a finger. Before function or symbol, they operate as presence. I keep them without fully understanding why. I think of these elements as external organs — cavities where guilt, desire, disgust, or threat ferment. The works resist fixed readings and hold together through proximity, displacement, and material transformation over time.
