Just A Shutter Spike is an upcycled assemblage that elevates a single salvaged object into the center of the frame. An antique shutter spike, weathered and sharp with history, sits against a rusted metal sign and reclaimed frame samples, held like a specimen or a relic. A spiral of appliance spring adds a quiet sense of motion, as if time itself left a fingerprint. Minimal in elements but rich in texture, the piece invites a slower look and a simple question: what makes something "just" a thing, and when does it become worth noticing?
