OYSTER SHELTER

Interior design

2023

Drawing on an overall observation of the harmful impact of the construction sector on the environment (all the while being captivated by the shapes, materials and geometries it produces) and drawing on a sentimental attachment to a rural and ephemeral architecture defined directly by its environment (which produces traditions, memories and ruins), I use the oyster, a symbol of fecundity and delicacy as a raw material, its shell having the same composition as the base of cement, concrete and lime.
