KYRONIS

Kyronis explores the intersection between protein crystallization and artisanal ceramic processes, highlighting the relationship between molecular organization and artistic creation. In protein crystallization, macromolecules spontaneously assemble into three-dimensional symmetrical networks under controlled conditions, allowing for precise characterization of their atomic structure. Similarly, artisanal ceramics use modeling and firing techniques to transform amorphous materials into complex patterns and textures at a macroscopic level. The series employs algorithms that replicate crystallographic patterns based on structural data, fusing them with ceramic surfaces to create a visual interplay between molecular symmetry and artisanal imperfections.

The crystalline structures, represented through detailed geometries, integrate with ceramic textures, underscoring the convergence of biological self-assembly processes and manual techniques. Kyronis provides an analysis of how both science and art investigate the organization of matter at different scales, emphasizing shared principles of symmetry, thermodynamic stability, and structural transformation.
