Our Common Shapes unfolds as a moving archive—a video-based catalogue that animates a growing collection of sculptural casts made from single-use plastic packaging. Each form, cast in pigmented plaster, appears as both artifact and echo—an intimate fossil of contemporary life. The photographic documentation reveals the tactile qualities of these objects—their surfaces, shadows, and subtle imperfections—inviting a contemplative encounter with the ordinary.

The sequence transforms plastic fragments into symbols of collective memory, exposing how design, consumption, and material culture intertwine. This digital chapter expands the project’s sculptural logic into the virtual realm, where the objects circulate freely, detached from scale and function—reflecting on the mutable relationship between form, context, and meaning.
