Leftovers of our endless appetite for brighter, newer and fancier objects to add to our material possessions, the objects captured in these pictures have lost their primary function.

As we no longer desire them, the appropriation mechanism is no longer effective, and a distance is generated between us and these objects.

We are able to discover in them properties we couldn't recognize before, as our attention was exclusively directed to their functionality.

Now we can study shapes, colors, textures, and the aesthetic qualities that the extreme malleability of metal and other materials can have. Thus, a new kind of relation between the object and the observer is established.
