Sculpture

This is a material study of a found object that is often ignored in its everyday use. As time passes, objects that are once new, are worn and no longer cherished, forgetting how they used to be. Observing the contrast and differences between two welding sheets, I utilized the worn one, attempting to maximize the potential of the object to be cherished.
Dragging the sculpture into the sunlight as the sun determined the appearance of the material but also indicated the time passed. Eventually, the material will continue to be worn down.
The interaction of light with the object caused not only the object's appearance to change, but the interpretation of the visual changes reflected the passage of time.
