A sculptural object that returns the repressed anatomy of the everyday hanger. Its ceramic body retains the curvature of the shoulders not as utilitarian ergonomics but as the trace of a living body expelled from an industrial typology. Leather tips accentuate the illusion of flesh — soft, rounded, vaguely organic.
Figure Apparator undermines the neutrality of domestic suspension. It turns absence into overpresence, affirming corporeality where it has been erased. In this it resonates with the phenomenology of embodied experience (Merleau‑Ponty), where the body does not vanish but remains an agent of perception and meaning. Through weight, proportion, and formal tension the object becomes not a means of storage but a site for the return of the repressed — rendering absence visible and tangible and shifting the domestic instrument into a register of memory, corporeality, and resistance.
