Ragged black line

The installation 'Ragged black line' explores the theme of the loss of what connects us to the past—memories of people, events, and places that are only partially retained in memory. The past haunts us with its obsessive recollections, yet it is riddled with gaps in memory and a multitude of missing details. Without these lost, 'forgotten' things, the past becomes an insufficient foundation for constructing any convincing future. Thus, we become frozen in a dreamlike, infinitely stretched-out present.

The outline of a house is discernible in the installation’s contours, but this house has become a sketch, as if drawn in space with a ragged black line. Sometimes we think we clearly remember our childhood home in every detail, but when we begin to draw it, these details become incredibly insufficient.
