"The bench, BENT BENCH, is another central piece and marks the beginning of my journey towards larger a scale with robust aluminium profiles. It is simple but powerful in its form and is a bridge between the functional and the sculptural. The bench bears traces of my experimental process and clearly shows how the properties of the material control the objects visual presentation. It represents a shifting format where I begin to push the boundaries of scale and the durability of the material."
