Untitled 2012

This ethereal sculpture was created by Michel Blazy using soap. It's really interesting how he embraces the unpredictable nature of the materials he uses. Here, these ephemeral forms seem to bubble up and over like a cloud. The surface appears soft and yielding, like fresh snow, but it is clearly made of something more slippery, something more temporary. This tension between the material and the form is what really grabs me. The texture is almost foamy, and the way the light plays across the curves makes it seem like it's constantly in motion. This idea of process and change reminds me of artists like Tara Donovan, who also transforms everyday materials into something totally unexpected. Ultimately, Blazy's soap sculpture is a reminder that art, like life, is always in flux and that beauty can be found in the most unexpected places.
