The series investigates space as something experienced rather than fixed. Subtle variations in forms create moments where perception continuously shifts and recalibrates. It was a direct response to the initial interaction with built environments and acted as a documentation of spatial experience in architectural spaces. The drawings invite slow looking, revealing movement within seemingly static forms.
