The installation "Destructive Elevations" represents the land after an eruption, or metaphorically, a person after experiencing intense emotions. It explores the infinite cycle of happiness leading to sadness, and sadness leading back to happiness. With the main piece, I aim to question the concept of an interactive object, leaving it up to the viewer to decide whether to walk on the structure and explore the space from different angles or choose to observe without interaction.

The glass series serves as the starting point, where high temperatures create holes in the fragile, transparent material, which interacts with copper—a more solid yet flexible element. The narrative reaches its peak in both height and temperature, reflecting geological phenomena such as volcanic eruptions and tectonic shifts. As the process cools down, a wooden structure invades the space, visually resembling a mountain while disrupting geometric forms, echoing urban architecture.

To create this piece, I repurposed and transformed objects, altering their form and purpose.
