Autumn Leaf. This Autumn Leaf steampunk assemblage was inspired by the bottom of an old aluminium pot that I found in a scrap shop. Its texture and shape reminded me of a wrinkled autumn leaf. That was how the idea of giving this forgotten object a new life was born. The leaf’s stem is made from a clutch lever taken from an old motorcycle – another object with its own history.
For me, this is more than just a decorative artwork. It is also a philosophical symbol of transience, renewal and the beauty that can be found in unexpected places. Just as autumn leaves remind us that everything changes, this work shows how an ordinary discarded object can become something beautiful and meaningful.
This Autumn Leaf steampunk assemblage brings together the industrial world and the natural forms of autumn. It is a distinctive piece for an interior that appreciates originality and objects with a story to tell.
