This is space, where imaginary line and forms exist. They feel loneliness, fear, limits. They need control, empathy, intimacy. They are lost.

I work with graphics a lot, starting with formal and technical approach of creating line, form, combining sharp form with organic, deciding on how transparent or intensive they should be, moving the body near a big format of paper, closeness to my work. I try to build the bridge between formal discourse of classical medium and questions of creating senses, showing those senses and talking about those senses.

I write texts based on my drawings. But you don’t see my drawings here.

You can only hear audio, you can only imagine the life of lines, different shades of black color, movement of forms, you can follow in your head the creation of objects, the life of these objects.

These stories are very personal. These stories are very abstract.
