Metacarpus

2022

A series of three metal hand sculptures made from silver and brass,

each presenting a speculative future scenario. Positioned between jewelry

and tools, the objects reflect on digitalization, climate change, and the transformation of the hand beyond its physical form. Each design progresses further into the future and is presented as a future archaeological find.


Framed through the lens of future archaeology. the series invites viewers to look back at these objects as remnants from different time periods, questioning how human touch, function, and embodiment may evolve over time.
