Statement

Between the folds of memory, small chairs emerge as silent witnesses of lived experience. Wrapped in layers of white textile, they are neither hidden nor fully revealed, but suspended in a space between protection and disappearance.

 

A red thread travels across the surface, connecting fragments that seem distant, tracing invisible relationships between memory, home, and belonging. The white fabric functions as both skin and landscape, preserving the traces of what remains while allowing absence to become visible.

 

Rather than enclosing the objects, the work suggests that memory is never fixed—it shifts, folds, and unfolds, continually weaving together what time attempts to separate.
