Made from polyvinyl silicone—a material used in professional dental mold-making for its precision and elasticity—the forms resemble chewed gum, but originate from casts of reimagined condoms, playfully abstracted into soft, biomorphic units. The piece explores accumulation, surface, and transformation. The top half, dominated by saturated mint green tones, gradually dissolves into pale greys and creams toward the bottom, generating a visual gradient of material density and chromatic saturation. Each element holds traces of folding and impression, creating a field of repetition where tactile memory and sculptural ornamentation intersect. Part of the Chicles series, Mint Gum Composition addresses the tension between intimacy and form, humor and material rigor. with its carefully controlled arrangement and formal clarity, the piece invites reflection on the aesthetic elevation of discarded matter. The result is a poetic and ironic work that blends pop minimalism, symbolic excess, and domestic scale.
