Conceived as a sculptural free-standing console table, the piece is shaped entirely by hand, with the copper gradually stretched to generate its volume through a highly demanding process. From a narrow base, the form opens progressively, resolving into a contained upper surface that serves as a supporting plane for decorative objects.
This mirror-polished surface recalls a water mirror, where objects are reflected and take on an almost liquid quality.

OBJ-11 is produced from recycled copper in collaboration with master artisans in Santa Clara del Cobre, Michoacán. The material is heated in fire until it becomes malleable, then shaped through controlled, repetitive hammering. Rather than relying on industrial processes, form develops gradually through this manual work, allowing the material to be stretched, compressed, and stabilized by hand.
The piece retains the traces of this process—subtle variations, tonal shifts, and surface irregularities—that reflect both the intensity of the work and the nature of the material itself. Once the raw piece is formed, it is transported to Valle de Chalco, Estado de México, where final adjustments, assembly, and finishing are completed.
