This sculpture reimagines the disposable takeaway cup as a permanent object of reflection. Inspired by the Futurists’ embrace of speed and their rejection of femininity, the piece transforms a symbol of urgency and constant motion into something delicate, ornamental, and enduring.
Created by building forms from waxed string and casting them in brass using the lost-wax process, the work encases the familiar cup shape in an intricate lattice that softens its utilitarian silhouette. The cup, lid, and straw are each rendered with meticulous detail, turning an object of pure function into one of contemplation.
This piece invites viewers to reconsider the beauty, contradictions, and cultural weight embedded in the simplest gestures of modern life.
