This force operates both as a physical process of corrosion<br \/>\nand as a broader metaphor for social-spatial transformation. By deconstructing and<br \/>\nreconstructing metallic components, my project follows the inherent paths of<br \/>\ncorrosion, symbolically illustrating how the growth of rust and natural fading shape<br \/>\nnew spatial forms and ecological orders. Rust is not merely a chemical<br \/>\ntransformation but also a metaphorical representation of &#8220;fade.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The research unfolds along two parallel dimensions:<\/p>\n<p>Extracting the traces and textures of corrosion on metallic components and<br \/>\ntranslating them into the core principles of reconstruction;<br \/>\nSimulating how the &#8220;fade&#8221; process generates forces within the elements, altering<br \/>\nspatial forms.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the research integrates multiple modes of expression through videos and<br \/>\nimages, presenting its core ideas. This includes ink simulations of invasion and<br \/>\ntransformation processes, alongside narratives from Charleroi&#8217;s urban films about<br \/>\ndisplaced metal-recycling workers. These elements are interwoven to convey how<br \/>\n&#8220;fade,&#8221; as an active force, reshapes and reconstructs the city\u2019s core dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"
