I made this piece based on the «My moon» installation, which we exhibited in 2023. Since this installation can’t be repeated because of the special connection with the space and also because of the dismantled elements of sculptures, I wanted to give it a new life. I used the fabrics with which we built our previous house and also used dismantled sculptures for monotypes and painting. Then I also used old drypoint plates that I made a long time ago, about 5-6 years ago. This work was done in two days, very intuitively, as a kind of game. Now this painting has become an embodiment of the constant reassembling of the house due to moving, threats, and changes in the environment. This work is about its search for form and the preservation of past elements to create a new structure.
