Ephemeral Materials is a category of found objects in contemporary art practice that comprises transient, perishable, or temporally limited substances—such as organic matter, disposable goods, or time-sensitive media—distinguished by their inherent instability and impermanence, which fundamentally challenge traditional notions of artistic durability and archival value.
