The wall-mounted work Exo Se is structured around a central white form composed of smooth, segmented volumes, evoking a spinal or mineral structure. Pale pink cylindrical connectors punctuate the composition, linking this core to red, mouth-blown glass, which extend laterally like branching outgrowths and recall vascular or coral-like systems. The work articulates anatomical, organic and artificial registers, pointing to a conception of the body as an assemblage of functions rather than a unified entity. By mobilising forms that oscillate between the biological and the technical, the work approaches a medical vocabulary, where analogies emerge with devices of implantation, connection, or grafting. It thus brings into play a continuity between the mineral and the organic, as if inert matter could adopt the logics of the living, or conversely, as if the body could be understood as a modular and extensible construction.
