Intent

”This series of objects is a result from my exploration of forms and movement in material created from different dimensions of metal pipes.”

Artist statement

With these sculptures and candleholders Sebastian wants to share the serenity experienced while creating, but at the same time, awake a curiosity in the viewer. He has worked to find and explore the shapes and movements of the material when it's put under pressure. Pipes are common industry waste, and an important part of the creation process is to use discarded pieces from production processes to reduce the impact on the environment and climate.
