YUKIFU / CAST STUDY 001
Evolved,
Yet Confined.
Two forms. One uneasy future.
CASTING STUDY / IN DEVELOPMENT
Two bodies from different eras occupy the same space. The dinosaur's dorsal points echo the future human's inflated compartments. Awkward drawn outlines become weighty volumes, asking whether becoming larger and more complex also means becoming freer.
- Composition

- Material proposal
- Cast cement, cast plaster, mineral pigment, matte protective finish
- Size / price
- To be determined after physical testing
- Stage
- Digital volume study / Not available to order
Digital casting concept, before physical production. Views may differ in geometry and surface markings. Materials, dimensions, finish and mold construction remain subject to physical tests.
01 / FROM THE DRAWING
A scribble,
given weight.
A bigger, more efficient body.
Less room in which to move.
READING THE WORK
More body.
Less room.
The two drawn presences meet different conditions when imagined as objects. Lines that could overlap or disperse on paper now suggest thickness, weight and occupied volume. The low dinosaur and vertically accumulated human have contrasting silhouettes, yet mirror one another as bodies whose bulk seems disproportionate to their ability to move.
The proposed cement and plaster introduce a sense of time into that contrast. Unsmoothed surfaces, small pores, boundaries and colour traces resist equating newness with perfection. These are intentions for future material work, not documented physical results. Surface and substance will need to change in response to actual casting tests.
Presenting the pair through familiar product views also belongs to the question. Before a gaze accustomed to acquiring and comparing improved bodies, these figures offer awkward proportions and inefficient presences. They borrow the scale of a small possession while asking whether having more necessarily leaves us freer.
02 / MATERIAL INTENTION
Not polished.
Not perfect.
Mold boundaries, small pores and bluntly finished edges are considered part of the form. Brief blue and rust marks retain the memory of drawing rather than simply decorating a surface.
A visual material study. Tactility, colour transfer and durability have not been physically verified.
