Noshape was created from the remains of a car stripped of its original function, orientation, and material legibility. Part of the bodywork is unified by a black surface, while its structural divisions, edges, joints, and technical details are highlighted with white lines. The originally functional industrial object is thus transformed into a spatial drawing whose form can be perceived independently of the purpose for which it was created. The intervention reverses the relationship between form and function. A car is the result of a precisely defined technical and ergonomic design in which every element has its place and purpose. By removing part of it from the original whole and changing its orientation, this logic breaks down. The familiar structure loses its scale and unambiguous identity and begins to appear as an abstract, at times almost organic form. The title Noshape reflects this shift. It does not refer to an absence of form, but to a state in which an originally unambiguous form is no longer read through its function. The object remains what it once was, while simultaneously becoming something for which its original name is no longer sufficient.
