The sculptures in this exhibition originate in a state of tension: an internal force met by structures that contain it.
Amorphous, pliant forms appear to press outward from within systems that both organize and delimit them. These frameworks may recall the human body, habitual patterns, or the invisible networks through which experience is structured.
Rather than staging suffering as spectacle, the works articulate it as a shared condition, an ongoing negotiation between expansion and constraint. The structural vocabulary revisits a form that has been present since the earliest stages of the artist’s practice. Nearly two decades ago, cage-like constructions in papier-mâché established a language of containment that re-emerges here, not as a citation but as a recurrence, an image returning in response to internal shifts.
In this body of work, the cage is neither solely a metaphor nor a symbol. It operates as a structure: a system that contains, organizes, and produces form.
“The condition” may be understood as encompassing four interrelated dimensions: the human condition; suffering as a constitutive aspect of lived experience; the processes of conditioning that shape perception and behavior; and the systems through which life is organized.
Life does not occur outside structure, but within it. The question is not one of escape, but of comprehension. To exist is to contend with irreducible frameworks: body, society, time, habit, cognition, within which the impulse toward expansion persists. These sculptures hold the form at its limit: the moment just before rupture.
