Reflection
Time as collaborator
A Boiling Pot reflects the dialogue between control and unpredictability. Each object documents a process where design intention meets material will.
What remains is a physical record of time - solidified in copper.
Extended Research
Ongoing experiment
Following the exhibition, one process was chosen for continued experimentation.
The intention was to guide the process to control where and how copper would form.
Yet the material continued to evolve beyond these limits, creating unexpected configurations that challenged prediction.
Each setup defines certain conditions,
yet the outcome remains partly unpredictable.
Process
A conductive object is placed in an electrolytic bath.
Electric current moves copper onto its surface,
forming new layers that grow over time.
A Boiling Pot
A study of material and time.
Electroforming copper objects over several days.
This project is a colleboration between myself, Kamea Devons, Netta Nahardiya and Elie Tenenbaum for the 2022 Jerusalem Design Week
Research
The research focused on the electroforming process
observing how time, chemistry, and form influence one another.
Different conditions were tested:
solution composition, voltage, and material type.
Each setup revealed new behaviors of copper crystallization,
where control met unpredictability.
The research outlined the boundaries of control and chance.
Installation
Parallel transformations
The installation presented three electroforming tanks, each operating under different conditions. Over the course of a week, copper accumulated, shifted, and transformed each tank telling a separate story of change through time.
