Seam is a series of sculptures in which the primary element is a steel cable processed by welding. The cable forms a continuous line without beginning or end, assembled from twisted strands held together through distributed tension.

Welding transforms the material. By fusing the strands, it fixes a structure previously sustained through tension. Material designed for flexibility becomes brittle. At the point of fixation, a seam appears — a connection that becomes a defect, and a defect that becomes structure.

Traces of intervention remain in the material. Misalignments, mistakes, and failed attempts belong to the work. Offcuts are retained as patches, hinges, or supports, forming nodes of tension.

Form becomes an archive of processes: deformation, rupture, and connection.
