On this wall I am presenting Ten Silent Attempts. A collection where I bring together my most recent works exploring the fragility of materials.

They reflect on how strength can be built through softness, through the quiet construction of a shield.

For me, the shield is not a wall, but a porous surface. It offers comfort, filters out unwanted input, and creates space to become a form of presence. These works emerge from that shielded place. They are carefully composed, slowly made.

It contains fragments of unfinished thoughts, feelings, and forms.
All these fragments revolve around an inner, introverted being: layered, quiet, and unreachable.
Together they form a collective silence. 
 

I work with traditional handcraft techniques such as needle lace, embroidery, and knitting to create tactile forms that hold and express fragility.
These are slow techniques: they take time, repetition, and presence. They resist immediacy.
