This body of research examines control, surrender, and precarity as interdependent forces, treating uncertainty as a generative element within the act of making. The work operates at a threshold between deliberate intervention and open-ended process, establishing conditions in which form is shaped through an ongoing negotiation between intention and material change.

Practising precarity involves a broader ontological shift in how materials are understood. Rather than casting solidity and rupture, coherence and dispersal, making and unmaking as fixed binaries, the work approaches them as phases within a continuous field of becoming.

Forms are brought to the edge of collapse, held in states that are neither fully stable nor entirely undone, foregrounding how every act of construction contains the potential for its own dissolution. This approach reframes precarity as an ethical and aesthetic stance: a willingness to remain with materials while they are unsettled, to work with their contingencies rather than against them.
