The Unfolding by AWE by Haris Delic

The Unfolding transforms the principle of a folding structure into an extravagant sculptural object made from carved wood, embroidered textile, engraved panels, metallic details, beads, and suspended ornaments. Its repeated triangular sections open, turn, contract, and expand as they travel vertically, producing a form that seems caught permanently between construction and transformation.
Every segment has its own material identity. Deep plum and magenta embroidery sits beside warm carved timber; botanical patterns move between stitched surfaces and engraved panels; small metallic spheres and hanging tassels extend the object beyond its main silhouette. The result resembles neither furniture, clothing, architecture, nor a conventional decorative object, although traces of all four can be sensed within it.
The title refers to more than physical movement. As the structure unfolds, different kinds of craftsmanship appear to emerge from one another. Hard wood begins to behave like folded fabric, embroidery becomes architectural surface, and ornament becomes structural rather than merely decorative.
The Unfolding imagines craftsmanship without fixed categories—a single evolving object in which material, pattern, construction, and decoration continuously exchange roles while the entire form remains suspended in a state of becoming.
