This hybrid of technology and nature exists at the threshold between the living and the inanimate. The organic, ephemeral nature of wax contrasts with the cold, functional copper, creating a dialogue between electricity—the invisible nerve of modernity—and the biology of a being that moves through impulses, just like the current running through the walls of every inhabited space.
Organic Current poses a question: Where does the machine end, and where does life begin? At this point of contact, the power outlet ceases to be a mere device and transforms into a portal, where energy flows in more than one direction.Provenance
