Celestrial nails
7 ceramics and carbon monoxide _50/10cm each
Installation of long ceramic nails with carbon oxide patina, arranged on the floor in a modular configuration. Their arrangement forms an enigmatic sign evoking runes or constellations. The title references a pagan belief: the North Star, nicknamed the "nail of the sky," represented the fixed center of the universe around which stars rotated. By reactivating this forgotten cosmology, these nails become markers of a lost language, between tool, symbol, and vestige. They suggest tension between terrestrial anchoring and cosmic aspiration, between permanence and movement.
