These sculptures' equilibrium is fragile, and yet they stand. Although their shape is “random” (aléatoire), as the artist would say, the heterogeneous components composing them were not chosen by chance. Since his childhood, the artist has been inspired by all the tools, packages, and instruments he saw used in his town in Congo, where the whole economy still relies on the extraction of copper, an element necessary for the functioning of electrical circuits and digital screens. And yet in his city of Lubumbashi there are electricity outages on a regular basis and the available copper is of a rather poor quality.
