Urban and industrial remnants costantly recur in the work. Their incorporation becomes a tool to investigate on their ambiguous status, circulation and alternative possibilities to diminish the impact of the industry.
At the core of her practice lies an interest in daily repeated gestures and in process as a form of knowledge. This extends beyond objects into the design of shared workspaces. They are intendend as environments that support exchange and collaboration.

The history of asbestos is woven through a complex web involving its uses in architecture, within building pipes and insulation, and the textile industry. Given its extraordinary insulating properties, asbestos was applied in countless ways.
Already Afterwards applies a glaze crafted from asbestos-containing concrete on a revisited kantharos, an Etruscan drinking vessel widespread throughout the Marche region, where the designer originates. Used in both convivial and funerary contexts, the kantharos was realised in collaboration with Etruscan replicas expert and potter Andrea Desimoni.
The glaze finishes were developed over the past three years in collaboration with the research centre AC Minerals, which treats asbestos-cement from buildings in the Netherlands. The development process of the glaze started during the Tech fellowship in 2022 in close collaboration with specialist Marianne Peijnenburg.
Within the focus of the exhibition on sustainability, having the cup as an entry point, the piece envisions the afterlife of ceramics, highlighting not only their durability in time, allowing to record past uses and communities, but also their narrative abilities. Asbestos was once used in antiquity to preserve fire in temples, symbolically keeping the divine flame alive, and later became known for its lethal presence in modern industry. The glaze process becomes a vehicle for storytelling about elemental transformation, circularity, and embedded history.
