Original artwork description:

Contemplating on a space which could perfectly fit a human body and provide comfort and safety. The result is quite the opposite, a claustrophobic image which reminds more of a coffin.

Part of the collection "The Poetics of Space"

(I have always been interested in spaces in dreams (rooms, labyrinths, passages etc.) and my research lead me to Gaston Bachelard's "The poetics of Space". I found in that book many images, symbols and thoughts I had been using in my work and in my fantasies since I was a child. Shells, nests, connected rooms, caves and shelters are some of the spaces that inspire me.)
