HORN3T was one of my very first installation projects, created during my first year of university. The assignment was open, but I decided to work with discarded computer parts—wires, plastic shells, fans, circuit boards—to build an artificial insect: a hornet assembled from technological remains.

The body came together like a puzzle, merging organic form with mechanical logic. It felt like I was giving old, useless components a new kind of life—aggressive, buzzing, and beautiful in its awkwardness. Once finished, I installed the piece on the wall of my home patio, right next to a mosaic of the Tree of Life made by my mother. That gesture made it even more meaningful: my hornet became a strange visitor, a synthetic insect nesting in a space filled with family, memory, and nature.

At night, I lit the piece from inside, making it glow softly—half creature, half relic. HORN3T is a tribute to transformation, collaboration across generations, and the creative power of using what’s already been discarded. It was the first time I realized how much a sculpture could carry beyond its materials.
