Thermal Stress

Daniella Algarate creates sculptural metalwork that explores the relationship between natural forms, environmental change, and material memory. Drawing from topography and organic textures, her pieces are designed to evolve—inviting oxidation and patina as integral to their transformation. Through this process, static forms become responsive surfaces that reflect the passage of time, blurring the boundary between built objects and living landscapes. Her work invites a quiet dialogue between viewer, material, and environment.
