Masa (2021) develops a sculptural syntax of collective volume through a constellation of folded brown forms that oscillate between architecture, landscape and portable monument. Arranged as a clustered field of angular masses, these paper-like structures evoke towers, shelters, geological protrusions and provisional urban fragments, while their shared chromatic restraint consolidates the ensemble into a single topographic body. The insertion of a miniature human figure is decisive: scale becomes relational, transforming abstraction into inhabitable proposition and converting the sculptural group into an imagined civic terrain. Here, Lloveras mobilises mass not as weight alone but as social condition—an aggregate logic in which each unit retains formal autonomy while contributing to a broader spatial ecology. As a case study in socioplastic composition, Masa demonstrates how modest materials and elementary folds may generate a complex grammar of collective presence, where the city is reduced to volume and volume to an affective model of coexistence. Neither maquette nor ruin, the work occupies an unstable threshold between prototype and fiction, suggesting that architecture begins not with construction but with the distribution of bodies, densities and silhouettes in shared space.
