Urban and industrial remnants recur in the work. I am drawn by their ambiguous past and circulation. Their incorporation is meant to shed light on their uncertain status.
At the core of the work lies an interest 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.

2025 - ongoing
Asbestos remains a persistent and large scale global health and environmental crisis. Though its use is banned in many countries, it endures in ageing buildings, legacy mine sites, landfills and older housing stock.
AC Minerals Asbeter has developed a mechanical‐chemical process to destruct asbestos fibres and convert asbestos-contaminated cement into benign, CO2-neutral raw materials.
The installation, presented as part of the 2025 Trienal de Arquitectura de Lisboa, comprises two sculptural columns, each made from a distinct material derived from neutralised asbestos: one from MACMA, a cementitious structural material, and the other from a former-asbestos mineral glaze, applied to a ceramic base.
