Ice Stalagmite
Inspired by mineralogy and natural phenomena, SEKI Nanami blends traditional Japanese techniques with a futuristic aesthetic.
In Ice Stalagmite, she creates a crystalline formation with iridescent reflections, crafted from urushi lacquer, diatomaceous earth, shell powder, and abalone.
This imaginary mineral, both precise and poetic, evokes a reimagined nature where each glimmer seems to capture the light of time. Positioned between science fiction and the memory of forms, her work challenges our perception of matter and the living world.
