Family Tree

A processual sculpture in which each part of the production process has its own fundamental significance. Discarded materials are meticulously collected from all corners of the family, then tightly sewn together and wound into a trunk, before being cut in half with a sharp blade and preserved in a concrete bark.

The work is an image of a family in which strangers in life are united in death, sewn together in the contemplative timelessness of one body. Time collapses: those who never touched now press against each other, their common thread stretching across centuries to this moment.

The blade divides them. The old bond is broken; wounds open so that something new can grow. Every family has its ghosts, every root hides its own sap. The concrete shell protects its core, unyielding yet fragile. Beneath it, life pulsates.
