Wasteland/liquid vs. solid
The diploma thesis wasteland/liquid vs solid primarily focuses on material research, emphasizing the exploration of state-of-the-matter changes through physical or chemical processes and their subsequent application in designing functional or representative objects. It involves developing an original workflow where the selected material takes on a primary role, entering into a dialogue with the designer as a co-author. Specific materials such as vinyl, other plastics, aluminum, or water glass are subjected to experiments that define these processes through their inherent behavior.
Based on these results, I create the secondary layer of the project—handmade tools that build upon these experiments and transform raw material into objects. These 'boxes,' as I call them, become both physical and communicative interfaces between the designer and the material. In their creation, a DIY approach and improvisational processes are intentionally employed, influencing the final visuality of the material. The work explores the levels, forms, and relationships between the author, the material, and the tool in direct contact.
I work with waste materials and random objects, assembling 'boxes' without a predetermined sense of real-world function. They process the material based on its properties—holding water, pumping air, or spinning. They look like they are doing something. Or at least they try. They only make sense within their specific space and function. Otherwise, they are useless. On the same level as everything else.
