In Sukhareva’s practice, corrosion operates not only as a technical process but as a poetic one. She treats oxidation as a form of recording and memory, rethinking a process typically associated with decay. What emerges is a notion of material memory — the traces of encounters embedded within matter — grounded in the idea that, “unlike man, things carry within themselves all their ‘memories’ simultaneously.”
