Forest of Pure Function
Some time ago, I was heavily using a 3D printer. During the printing process, the printer automatically generates support structures—rigid scaffolds purely meant to uphold the printed object—resembling 'branches.' I took notice of these small elements and collected the discarded supports to assemble this 'forest.'"

"Using the actively generated support structures of 3D printing as material, I composed a forest from these technological byproducts. Originally purely functional, these supports, once stripped of their utilitarian purpose, reveal an aesthetic resemblance to the organic growth patterns of natural branches. They are both indispensable technical scaffolds and unintentional artifacts of algorithmic growth.
