The Oxymora series emerges from an extended research process that brings together tradition
and innovation, production and contemplation, matter and spirit.
The works were created through a hybrid process of 3D printing and handcrafting, merging
techniques and materials. Polymer-printed parts are engineered to interlock with cast-metal
components previously printed in wax, and are then meticulously hand-assembled into a single
structure where the mechanism, usually hidden, plays a central role in the design.
Although the works rely on advanced digital technology, the creative process draws inspiration
from the principles of slow design and Zen, emphasizing mindfulness and flow. Immersion in
both material and process, even in an era of rapid digital pace, opens a space for inner quiet and
transformation
