The Soft Metal Room Our Wildest Day

Our work with Frama grew from a calm search for form, light and small shifts of metal that change with every move of air. We aimed to shape a scene where crushed silver sheets become more than objects, turning into soft fields of tone that hold both weight and glow. Through long tests with cold whites, narrow beams and slow rotations we found a state in which each fold behaved like a tiny wave. The images grew from this simple play of light and edge, built to feel raw but still precise, a small world where noise, shine and calm blend into one clear frame.
Quiet Metal
The core idea was to treat each surface as a soft space, not a hard shape, letting light skim over dents and peaks until the metal felt warm in its own cold way. We worked with tight setups, low angles and mild glows that opened small pockets of depth in every sheet. Each shift of tone added a new layer of mood, turning the crushed forms into near-sculptural scenes that lived between stillness and slow motion. The final frames show metal as something gentle: a thin field of light and shadow, shaped by touch, air and time, held in a quiet glow that ties the whole series together.
