Presentation of works and ideas within The Brass Section, a project growing for over a year into a material-based research and various experiments as catalysts for other frequencies – questions, urgencies, interests

Working to alchemize tangible poetry found in mundane contexts or routines, particularly unused material surplus, this is an inventory of experiments using collected and processed brass dust, carved out in the process of duplicating keys.

The routine of collecting brass remnants becomes a kind of alleviation to a scattered, fractured society, a poetic account of people coming together, as reflected by this mechanical activity – particles which make possible the opening of doors throughout the city.

In an orchestra, the brass section contains the loudest instruments. Minuscule sculptural brass particles become celestial bodies, intricated jewelry, otherworldly architecture, when observed close enough. Pledging for wonder as practice, this is an invitation to re-imagine current possibilities from this perspective: platforms for the soft voices, building bridges, protecting them further, celebrating the diversity within.
