The installation brings together used work shirts mounted on wooden supports, forming a structure that sits between an archive and an assembly. These are not neutral garments, but surfaces marked by the friction between body and world: fabrics that have absorbed heat, effort and wear. Sweat, though invisible, remains as a trace of expended energy and of life turned into productive force. The artist has long explored bodily economies and the value of labour, understood here not only as an economic function, but also as a shared physical and political condition.
