Studio shelves with plaster fragments and casts

  The studio becomes a **library of bodies**. Limbs, torsos, gestures recombine into **new anatomies**.

  ### Why Assemblage?

  - Velocity of **experimentation**.  
  - Discovery through **juxtaposition**.  
  - Scale testing for **monuments**.

  | Practice | Benefit |
  |---|---|
  | Re‑casting | Repeatable modules |
  | Fragment | Focus on essence |
  | Montage | New relations |

  > Fragments are not losses—they are **concentrations**.
