Inventory of forms is a set of 30 manifest objects made of ceramics and collages of colored paper. This range constitutes a repertoire based on the three pure geometric figures; all other forms derive from them. It is by adding, assembling, and compiling these figures that new compositions emerged. The exploration of forms and their various combinations was done directly on the material without any preliminary sketches. The medium of this experimentation is the material itself. The steps of the creative process were reversed, as the volumes spontaneously emerged from my hands. Once the pieces were fired, the technical part—namely, the cutting of the objects—was executed digitally, then printed on colored paper and created through cutouts.
