Heat leaves the event before it leaves the material. What looks calm may still be carrying the temperature of what happened.

The border after impact

In engineering, a heat-affected zone is the area surrounding a weld or cut where the material has not melted, yet its internal structure has changed. The event is over. The evidence remains inside.

UWAGA begins from that invisible border. The graphic moves diagonally across the body like energy escaping from a single point, but the garment holds it in place. It is not an image of fire. It is the memory of temperature translated into form.

Residual temperature

The campaign is set among oxidized steel and the last amber light of an industrial process. Nothing burns openly. Warmth survives at the edges, reflected by surfaces that have already absorbed it.

The body passes through this space without performance. The T-shirt becomes the meeting point between skin and material: a black field carrying the trace of a force that can no longer be seen directly.

Change does not need spectacle. Sometimes it appears only as a new arrangement inside matter.
