The process for Drop It Like It’s Hot started from the idea of melting metal. Haapala thought about the relationship between plasticity and elasticity and tried to stop movement, as in a photograph. The work also has a more playful side, which refers to the rap classic in its name and thus to the image that the form evokes.
