A Design Experiment on Entropy Form

Visit 2e-’s website. As we observed our environment we realized that they are two main types of forms that surround us, those, which are man-made and the natural ones. We lose track of this context, maybe because of our life rhythm, or maybe because we are too immersed in our man-made world. What is fascinating about nature, is that is ever changing.

2e- focuses on appropriating our natural environment by analyzing it. I observed change, specifically a concept called Entropy which sometimes is defined as a gradual decline of arranged elements into disorder. Through this work, I focus on developing a set of condition that will affect and create forms, in the other word, I allow form to manifest itself.

I spent months on testing electrolysis metal crystals. These pieces have a special way of capturing nature in order to freeze the original sparkle of the metal crystals. The basic principle of crystal growing is to electrolyze a solution of sulfate with two copper electrodes. In this process, the anode (+) acts as a donor and cathode (-) serves as a receiver. The copper molecules are separated from the scrap copper (+) and aggregated on the negative copper part which gradually forms coral-like copper crystals.
