The silent cycle of turning art back into an asset #shorts - Video

A year of unsold work like rings, chains, and pendants is collected from the showcase to be stripped of its form. Thousands of hours of labor are placed into an induction furnace where high frequency currents melt the solid metal into a white hot shimmering pool. After a sprinkle of borax to clear away impurities, the liquid is poured into a graphite mold. It quickly solidifies and cools, condensing an entire year of creativity into a single dense bar weighing 5,447.44 grams.
