ABOUT THE EXHIBITED OBJECT
INTERLOCKED (2023)
“Interlocked” is a three-dimensional knitted form inspired by the structure of spiderwebs. The viscose yarn web symbolizes connection, cooperation, and mutual dependence. Built through the repetition of identical elements, the gradually evolving system represents growth and transformation. The yarn acts as a sensitive mediator, and the web not only connects but also encourages a collective way of thinking, where humans appear as part of a living system.
