The resulting image references and attempts to deals with the deprivation of space in relation to the human body. Both in contrast and in relation to the assemblage on the wall, two red monoblock chairs— or fragments of their former selves—lie beneath, seemingly suspended in a timeless instance and slowly sinking into the sand. These chairs appear as relics of past moments, which only materialize into shape through delicate fragments in space.
