In Beautiful Rejection, the red weight on the floor anchors the suspended element above it. Rejection, in this work, is not represented symbolically but structurally. The sculpture demonstrates that rejection is never neutral; it is always anchored to something, always connected to a previous conversation, always pulling downward. The red element functions as emotional gravity — the weight of a word that cannot be taken back.
We live not only among objects and buildings, but among words — words that were spoken, words that were misunderstood, words that were never said, and words that ended something.
In other wor(l)ds is a body of sculptural works that gives physical form to these invisible presences. Derived from language, memory, and psychological states, the works translate conversations into structures, emotions into weight, and sentences into bodies.
These sculptures do not represent objects.
They represent conditions — confusion, indecision, repetition, rejection, and conclusion.
They are not meant to be read.
They are meant to be walked through.
