Lifted

Lifted consists of three individually cast concrete steps, loosely stacked and supported by everyday functional objects: two car jacks, a climbing hook, and a hand-thrown ceramic cup. From the front, the staircase appears stable and usable. From the side, its structural dependency becomes visible. What seems self-supporting is in fact held in place by objects associated with repair, ascent, and domestic use. The work reverses the logic of elevation: rather than lifting the body, the staircase itself is held up.
