Material performance

Calcium chloride, silicone, silica, polycraft pigment, room conditions.

The calcium chloride in the mixture liquefies over time depending on the room conditions, and the container produces its own liquid to contain.

The main material, calcium chloride, which collects humidity from the air and transforms into a chemically different liquid, akin to salted water. Around this material, I explore the qualities of salted water and the self-destructive nature of calcium chloride, which is highly reactive to environmental factors, including the breaths and sweat of people.

High amount of water interaction brakes the structure of silica and the water contained in the liquid can evaporate depending on the room conditions, if all the water evaporates, only salt crystals remain.
