I 3D-printed a fishbone, curious about how the computer would
handle the delicate spikes, since clay struggles to hold such
fragile structures together in a short time. I found that the
software generated supports between the spikes, reinforcing
them in a way that wasn’t part of my original intent.
I decided to give my fish flesh. Wax became the ideal material
due to its adaptability and organic texture, contrasting with the
rigid ceramic structure. Once the fish took form, I connected it
to a thin metal rod, one light enough to shift with the fish’s
weight. As a result, the fish drags the wire, moving as if it were
alive.
By introducing kinetic movement, I explore my ongoing interest
in cyborgs—creating a being that is neither fully organic nor
fully mechanical, but something in between. This movement
blurs the line between object and living creature, questioning
what it means for something to exist in a liminal state.
