​cement, copper, and hand-crafted dough activated through heat

150/150 cm

 

A sculptural oven built from raw cement bricks and a homemade recipe for a cake. Inside the structure, I installed copper wires to generate heat, transforming the cold, industrial materials into a functioning, homemade oven.

On top, I placed hand-mixed colored dough — soft, playful, and intentionally fragile. As the sculpture warmed from within, the dough slowly began to bake. Its form changed, hardened, and eventually settled into stillness.

The piece echoes the presence of an archaic altar — a place where heat, offering, and transformation meet. It holds a quiet tension between structure and softness, ritual and utility. A reflection on domestic gestures within industrial form, and the slow alchemy of time, material, and care.
