The suspended elements exist in a state of potential, neither fixed nor free, shaped by the unseen dialogue between mass and gravity. They become both the medium and the measure of form, responding to the weight that tugs at them and the space they inhabit. This interplay is not mere mechanics but an unfolding of material intent—where control is exerted, yet never absolute.
The poured substance, in turn, does not impose itself but submits to the logic of its surroundings. It finds its shape not through force alone but through the quiet tension of what holds it, stretches it, and allows it to settle. In this delicate exchange, form is not dictated but discovered, emerging as a record of forces momentarily in equilibrium.
Alchemy of a slab.
The suspended slab is not merely an object but a testament to transformation—an alchemical convergence of force, gravity, and material will. It is shaped not just by physical pressures but by an unseen dialogue between resistance and surrender, between structure and dissolution.
In its suspended state, the slab transcends its raw materiality, embodying the echoes of its making. It is not just a slab but an entity that has undergone a silent metamorphosis, where weight becomes form and tension becomes meaning. Its existence is not accidental; it is the result of forces acting upon it, shaping its presence and purpose.
Beyond its tangible form lies a deeper essence—a philosophical threshold where matter ceases to be inert and instead gains significance. It is no longer just a mass suspended in space but a narrative of becoming, a record of interaction between what is given and what is made.
The outcome; a material of alchemy that is a space in itself.
