As my second Spring 2021 project, Exhibición highlights the connection between clay and copper and how those materials, when properly fused together, can be transformed into a unique bookshelf. Instead of focusing on typical books, your everyday paperback and hardcover, I thought of scrolls — text imprinted on a sheet of paper that rolls up. An array of copper tubes, connected by links of clay, are then able to store these scrolls, as well as showcase scrolls between them in multiple ways. The scroll, being displayed, then creates volume for the model and seems to almost mirror a wall. The more scrolls, the more Exhibicion emulates a building rather than a simple bookshelf. The consumers then metamorphosize into architects themselves as they interact with and morph the structure.
