Pressing an object against a surface, evacuating the air that separates them, we force their contact and establish a similarity. As a result of this action, it's possible for aluminum foil to be freed from its usual function and become a surface capable of receiving an image. Allowing particles of wood to settle on an object, fixing them, and repeating the process makes it possible to create a new body, dense and compact.
All these processes of constructing images and objects share a common denominator: direct contact with a material capable of giving them form and content, without disregarding their singularity.
