What Matter Remembers translates the concept of entropy and the irreversibility of time into a visceral material dialogue. The copper plates, accelerated through chemical corruption in an ammonia chamber, bear witness to inevitable decay. Onto this structural instability, a physical anthropic action is grafted: the plates are hand-sewn onto the canvas with copper wires. This stitching embodies the friction of the human mind, which attempts to bind and preserve what is destined to unravel. A sharp compositional fracture simultaneously connects and splits the diptych, staging the tension between the geological permanence of ceramicized quartz and the volatile decay of metal: a psychological threshold forcing the viewer to confront the unstoppable flow of transformation.
Technical specifications: This artwork is a diptych composed of two canvases. Each canvas measures 100 cm (height) x 80 cm (width) x 4 cm (depth).
