A corridor? A passage? A tunnel? A path? Transitional space. A place of movement.

I deconstructed the psyche and created its coordinate system. Within the inner world there is transitional space, located between the Ego <> Self and body <> mind axis. This transitional space is where I believe, emotions reside. I am inviting you to not only witness, but also to engage with the space. Before entering the passage, make sure you are there alone.

It is a sequence; a process; not finished; ongoing.

All pieces are made with machines. Knitting machine, embroidery machine, and a tufting gun. Using these machines requires mastering, similar to taking distance. Taking distance was necessary for me to become an impartial observer of what's in my head.
