Fragile Forms

_{The forms are fragile, the forms are uncertain, lines go in circles, lines hold forms together. Some lines are very light, some are very strong. Sometimes the form is transparent, sometimes it bends. Most of the time the form is uncertain even about its position on the paper. It understands that the paper is very small, it feels the edges of the paper, it feels the limits of the paper. But at the moment the form feels comfortable there, it feels light and there is surprisingly enough space for the form to fly.}

_{It was the first lockdown. At that moment all my life, all my activities shrunk to one room. And my drawings shrunk to small pieces of paper and a limited amount of tools (only four or five pencils).

Paper is a very fragile material, as well as pencils. If I push a bit harder, it breaks, if I push not hard enough, the line is not strong enough. It was not about balancing, but rather about uncertainty and instability, everything around us changed so quickly, and I could not understand at that moment my feelings, situation or what was going to happen next.

I used fragile materials very unconsciously at first, I just felt that reducing the number of materials that I used was very appropriate at the moment. Only later, maybe during summer I realised the reason why I did so.}
