The «Molded in Noise» series is a sculptural chronicle of unseen presence. Eleven concrete heads, molded not in the silence of a studio but to the rhythm of industrial noise: the grinding of an angle grinder, the crackling of welding, the hammer’s relentless strikes. This soundscape was not merely a backdrop but an essential material of the work—just as integral as concrete, dust and sand.
PATTERN BOY shaped these heads, inspired by the faces of those he worked alongside. Their features are abstracted, worn away by the repetition of labor. These are not portraits of individuals but something more fundamental: the captured rhythm of work, a moment where the human dissolves into the act of creation.
