Volume, cast simply.
This project explores the sculptural potential of plaster through a series of volumetric tiles cast using a deliberately simple mold: three wood pieces and a frame. Born from experimental research in plaster workshops, the project reinterprets industrial casting techniques as a low-tech, intuitive process.
