At first glance, this real object looks like a wine bottle. But its form is fragmented into voxel-like parts. Made with a 3D printer, the sculpture consists of comb-shaped segments connected by a wire. When tension is applied, the scattered pieces pull together to restore the smooth bottle shape. This transformation symbolizes the link between virtual and physical realities—where digital fragmentation is reassembled into tangible form through subtle, invisible forces.
