The series takes its name from the small benign growths that appear on the skin’s surface — uninvited, intimate, part of the body’s ongoing record of itself. Working with brown algae biopolymer and natural pigments, the nine pieces were cast, grown, and dyed in forms that echo body membranes: translucent sheets, hanging skins, networked surfaces that hold light and shadow differently depending on where you stand. Three pieces remain intact; others have transformed or decomposed — their disappearance part of the work’s logic.
The series was developed as part of a personal process of acceptance — using material research as a form of inquiry into what the body carries, inherits, and transforms. Resilience here is not the erasure of marks but their exposure: the willingness to let what has shaped you remain visible.
One piece, a large pink membrane cast as a net, marked a formal departure that would later develop into the Matrix series, tracing how one body of research grows from another.
Exhibited as a solo show at Molt, Berlin, the installation brought together the biopolymer series with a live performance and a backlit specimen display of previous material explorations, samples and experiments that made the research process itself visible as part of the exhibition. The performance, developed in collaboration with performer Anna Deborah Disse and musician Aleto, extended the bodily logic of the sculptures into live presence: the material draped and inhabited rather than simply observed.
