The detail of the structures reveals the aesthetics of the surface between order and chaos. The series of unique pieces parasitos is a sensitive examination of parasitic organisms that form connections with their carriers in various ways – a fusion defined by de­pendence. The work centres on the delicate shape of the creatures, which is hidden from the human eye. Through traditional forging techniques such as chasing and hall­marking, upsetting and driving the metals, a translation of natural formations into solid materials takes place – a trans­formation allowing the hidden to become visible.
