This sculpture tends to create a tension with the space it is located in. Present at the entrance to the exhibition room, it represents the threshold of a housing. As someone is entering the space, these forms are meant to create a presence, like a sluice accompanying the viewer into the warmth of an inhabited surface.

    This warmth is also activated by the beeswax bulb which it is functioning as a source of energy and reveals the varnished surface of the ceramic on the gas cylinder. 

    Made of ceramic slurry and from a plaster mould, the form has kept the print and the stories of the matrix object. As a symbol of heat-producing energy, it represents the focal point of the threshold. It tells the story of a smuggler, of a body that constantly oscillates between the inside and the outside.
