Island
Sculpture [Ply body, Stainless steel, Valchromat, Faux leather, Electricity plug, LED lights] 2020
Island materialises the need for contemporary multifunctionality, specifically how spaces in the home have become portable and transmutable. A reflection on what covid protocol has exposed: that there’s no longer necessity for impermeable site-specific spaces. Kitchens have become a lockdown icon. Departing from and elevating this notion, Island embodies a compressed life, encapsulated into a multipurpose pill. Portable - for it has wheels- life no longer has the structure it once enjoyed. Pillars are replaced for mobility and the questioning of the practical and necessary. Island represents a new kind of independence that will shape our future.
