This series of drawings explores the theme of boundaries. It is a work in progress. Two series, each consisting of four drawings, are complete. Two additional series are planned: one in which the boundaries of surfaces intersect, and another that focuses on the permeability of boundaries.
Boundaries permeate spaces—both private and personal spaces, as well as public spaces. They can be visible and invisible, material and conceptual. They mark transitions, separating and connecting at the same time.
The space in which we live shapes our perception, our movements, and our sensibilities. At the same time, we shape it through our actions, our memories, and our imaginations. In this interplay, boundaries emerge as lines of orientation, as places of protection, but also as zones of limitation. The line becomes a breathing membrane between the self and the space. It is at the same time an experiment on the sovereignty of personal space, on the relationship between human and space. The boundary appears not only as a separation, but as a sensitive interstice, a place where inside and outside, closeness and distance, touch one another.
The drawings propose the thesis that we inscribe ourselves into space through and across boundaries.
