In “ZET” (2025), aluminum castings in the shape of logs form an upward-striving sculpture that suggests the silhouette of an arrow. The sculpture relates the wood as a carrier of time and history to the aluminum, which preserves form and structure. Through the geometric mesh structure of the surface, inspired by digital 3D renderings, Jaworski refers to the infinite possibilities of modeling and expansion made possible by organic growth on the one hand and computer-generated simulations on the other. In doing so, he refers to the concept of the hyle: originally from Greek philosophy, it describes a basic material that is the starting point for everything that can be shaped. The arrow not only indicates movement and progress, but also an open potential: the form remains in motion, ready for change and further development. “ZET” thus symbolizes transformation, which is inscribed in every element - from organic nature to precise abstraction. The sculpture remains a snapshot of a process that constantly redefines form and material and shows how matter moves from nature to abstraction and from the past to the future.
