The two works shown here are part of a larger installation that imagines a possible future after mass production. A completely white side table composed of tensioned plastic elements forms a layered, fragile structure; alongside it, a wall-mounted metal piece brings together jagged fence elements, key chains and industrial components into an open frame-like arrangement. Drawing on existing and found everyday objects, modular structures emerge that can be reconfigured and recombined. Function arises situationally through the relationships between individual components. The assemblages remain reversible and can be disassembled or reworked at any time.

Set against the backdrop of ecological crises, the work proposes a scenario in which abundance is replaced by scarcity, and objects are no longer defined by fixed functions, but by their capacity for reuse and adaptation.
