Alloy, Public Art
The merging of the natural and the industrial, of organic intelligence and engineered purpose.
Introduction
Each structure echoes the angularity of industrial machinery, relics of a time when this land pulsed with production.
Yet woven through these forms are biomimetic cut-outs — patterns borrowed from nature’s own design language: branching veins, cellular lattices, the soft repetitions of growth.

Within each form lies a seat, gently lit from within. The light does not react, but waits — constant, patient, like a forge kept burning. When someone enters and sits, their silhouette is cast transforming them into a living figure within the machine.
From the outside, passersby witness this quiet moment of occupation — each person framed like a vital component, completing the form.
The title, Alloy, reflects more than material fusion. It is a metaphor for the tension and harmony between systems — natural and manmade, past and future, body and structure. It asks: What does it mean to design with nature, rather than over it? Can industry evolve by learning from the patterns that shaped us?
Inspiration
"Re-imagining our Relationship with the Built Environment” - This curatorial
vision would explore the ways in which humans interact with the built
environment, and how our relationship with industrial landscapes has
evolved over time.
