Witnesses  Wearable objects / sculptural series

Witnesses is a series of wearable sculptural objects that function as points of direct psychological contact.
The work approaches the body not as an image or a character, but as an interface through which inner states become visible.
These objects operate as fragments of presence — material traces of psychological conditions rather than illustrative forms.
Wearability here is a way to reduce the distance between the object and viewer, allowing the work to exist in immediate proximity to the body.
The series eschews narrative and symbolic explanations, instead focusing on exposure and contact.
Each piece exists in a state between sculpture and wearable object, retaining autonomy while remaining open to lived interaction.
