[ MOLDING LIFE ] IS AN INSTALLATION THAT EXPLORES THE DUALISM BETWEEN HAPPINESS AND MOLD, TWO OPPOSING BUT INTERCONNECTED CONCEPTS. THE MACHINE, THROUGH THREE DISTINCT PHASES, CREATES THE CONDITIONS FOR LIFE TO GROW, SYMBOLIZING THE DELICATE AND UNPREDICTABLE NATURE OF HAPPINESS. LIKE MOLD, HAPPINESS REQUIRES BALANCE, CARE, AND SPECIFIC CONDITIONS TO EMERGE. THE WORK INVITES REFLECTION ON HOW HAPPINESS, LIKE LIFE ITSELF, CANNOT BE FULLY CONTROLLED, BUT MUST BE CULTIVATED WITH ATTENTION AND PATIENCE.
