Teapots (2024-) is an ongoing practice using the image of the “Utah Teapot”, a historical test model in computer graphics based on the design of a Melitta teapot. My interest in signs and archives extended to symbols while reflecting on this object whose image is much more significant than its original referent.

Through continuous and consecutive corruption of the original visual data composition, I keep creating digital copies that subtly mutate their own (digital) referents. The modification process is central to this project since it reveals the paradoxical nature of images; at once fragile (form) and powerful (content) in their vulnerable temporariness. I question how symbols engage with indexicality and how images can evoke its physical referent existing elsewhere.
