After casting, each part of the sculpture exists separately — fragments, fragments of the body, pieces of the form.

The assembly returns them to the whole.

This is the moment when the breath returns: by connecting the metal, it's like I'm restoring the body.

The process requires precision and attention to each seam.

Welding is not just a connection, it is an act of trust: it is necessary that the metal not only converge, but also become one.

Sometimes I collect large works with an internal frame, like a skeleton on which a body is strung.

The main thing is to maintain balance so that every detail follows the general logic of the composition.

During the assembly, the sculpture seems to resist.

Metal is heavy and inert, but once the elements are combined, movement, breathing, and energy suddenly appear.

From that moment on, it starts to sound.

After the connection, the seams are cleaned, the lines are completed, and the transitions are leveled.

It is important that the traces of the assembly disappear, but do not erase the life of the form.

Sometimes it's the other way around — I leave light scars, as a memento of my birth.

When everything is put together, I feel like the work becomes itself again — whole, confident, ready to fine-tune.

Now she is waiting for finishing and patina.

Assembly is the moment when metal becomes a body again.
