Negotiating absence, 2024.
240 x 200 cm freestanding wall, multiple plywood panels, floodlight, debris, video performance (12m 36s).
The gestures of constructing, demolishing, and rebuilding are never neutral. Each intervention creates a new order of belonging, erases certain presences while amplifying others, and reshapes how stories are told. Architecture becomes a palimpsest of human experience, a fragile archive of moments continuously overwritten. The removal of a wall (whether material or symbolic) unfolds a negotiation between loss and possibility, memory and forgetting, and transforming absence into space for what has yet to come.
