DESCRIPTION: This installation is made up of small, everyday objects—things we don’t usually pack when we travel but which seem to reappear
in every new place we arrive. On his journey from home to the exhibition space, f' collects these objects and transform them into
small sculptures. f' alters their shape and function, giving each a poetic meaning tied to its specific title. In the exhibition, f' places
these objects directly within the building, using its architecture instead of supports or pedestals. He spend time living in the
exhibition space, often for extended periods. During this time, f' continuously modifies the objects, adapting them to the space. This
work exists only through its movement—it comes alive as it travels and is reshaped in different locations. What remains after the
exhibition are drawings and small sculptures—forms that have emerged over time. These pieces evolve with each presentation,
adapting to new environments, growing, and aging. The drawings capture the enduring essence of these forms—their identity as
ideas and concepts that expand and multiply. They hint at an ongoing, incomplete attempt to ease nostalgia and confront solitude.
The sculptures, however, are tied to the present moment. They are made on-site using everyday materials found locally, shaped
through simple, spontaneous actions. The arrangement reflects f's experience of the place, its community, and its connections.
This process seeks to give the objects a sense of belonging to the space, assigning them a necessary order in what we might call
“home”—a fleeting collection of hazy, emotional memories.
