The project I wish to propose is a Sculpture. It consists of a folding screen which is tiled in a certain pattern and is tripping constantly. The pattern of the tiles resembles the pattern on my own bathroom walls.
The underlying narrative of the work is the relation of vulnerability and safety. On the one hand there is the vulnerability which comes with the association of a bathroom; the nudity, the intimacy, while on the other hand the folding screen is in its function of blocking views a tool of giving safety. The tripping water is thought to be another means of this subject: the object is leaking, making it more vulnerable but it is also a constant sound, reliable in its rhythm, calm. Apart from that it is thought to be adding to the still situation a moving part, completing the picture as such.
One recurring subject of my works is the influence the context of society has on the individual who lives within it.
This topic is also found in the proposed work which tries to examine tenderness and fear, two profoundly important emotions which are rather difficult in itself already becoming even more difficult in a society which is prone to success and achievements rather than the complexity of a sometimes fragile construct that is not solely defined by the easy, presentable.
