    Through casting, modelling and imprinting, Zoé explores matter in its various forms and connotations. She borrows and reuses visual codes from architecture, construction and building sites. These existing forms come from both the industrial field and the natural world. 
     
    Through a process of transforming the material or deforming a familiar shape,
    she accesses an interstice: a vague zone that communicates between physical reality and a metaphorical existence, tinged and distorted by emotion. These metamorphoses give rise to new images that compose a sculptural language
    where form, material and hybridisation allow for correspondences of ideas, unexpected associations that refer to broader processes of human transformation of matter but also to natural cycles of transformation. 
     
    The forms and objects that emerge from this process are enriched with new meanings and become metaphors for reflective themes related to the transitory states of matter and their spaces of transformation.
