Description:
Metal Creatures is a project comprising two metal sculptures that evoke the forms of animals and plants without directly replicating any existing organisms.
The sculptures are made entirely from recycled metal triangles, which are welded together to form new structures. The focus lies on the potential of the material itself and the forms that emerge through the process of assembling, joining, and transforming its individual elements.
The metal spikes feature heat-induced patterns created using a plasma cutter. Welded and bent one by one, they gradually develop into organic structures that blur the boundaries between the artificial and the natural.
