Nicolas Deshayes

Sebums

Sebums by Nicolas Deshayes presents a sleek yet viscerally evocative assemblage of anodized aluminum, wood, and vacuum-formed plastic. The work draws on the visual language of industrial manufacturing and medical or biological equipment, merging bodily associations with the cold precision of engineered materials. The result is an unsettling tension between the organic and the synthetic, inviting the viewer to consider the porous boundaries between flesh and fabrication.
