ASERRÍN
Material: Sawdust and methylcellulose
Technique: Molding
Year: 2025
Status: WIP
This project is an ongoing exploration into material transformation—an attempt to give new life to what is often considered waste.
Working with sawdust and methylcellulose, I developed a process that rebinds this leftover matter into a solid once again. The sawdust is dyed with natural pigments and then bound with a plant-based adhesive, forming new blocks—new possibilities.
Aserrín is about reclaiming material, but also about rethinking our relationship with it. Wood is not only a plank or a beam—it’s tree, fiber, dust. It carries memory and change.
The project includes a modular system composed of two basic shapes that can be reconfigured into different compositions, suggesting structure, play, and reuse.
From tree to dust to form again, Aserrín is a small gesture toward cycles, care, and circularity.
