A sculptural object that refuses to decide between stool, sculpture and spatial anchor. Stratum Apparator is built from eight identical ceramic modules, joined in a closed ring, forming a grounded volume of resistance.
The legs are wrapped in leather — not for softness, but for tension, compression and friction. The body is invited to sit, but not to rest. This object defines place not through comfort, but through disciplinary architecture: it materializes control. Its teleology is static, yet charged. The ceramic frame remembers the skeleton, the weight of sitting, the posture of submission. It marks the moment when the body becomes infrastructure.
