Two States

A vessel filled with vibrating water occupies two regimes of stability. In one, oscillation produces a moving order that forms and evolves across the surface. In the other, vibration exceeds the limits, and the container breaks.

The installation investigates the point at which a system designed to contain matter becomes incompatible with the forces acting upon it. The vessel defines a boundary and the water responds by adapting to the imposed conditions. Vibration introduces a pressure that accumulates over time, testing the capacity of the structure to absorb and redistribute force.

The work emerges in a period marked by the visible strain of frameworks intended to sustain collective life. This context informs the conditions under which the piece takes form, shaping its attention to thresholds, failure and structural exhaustion.
