Inhabiting the Void

Loneliness does not always arise from being alone. Sometimes it emerges in the presence of others, in relationships that exist but do not sustain us, in bodies that are there but not truly inhabited. It can be the result of loss, but also of emotional distance, of silence, of the impossibility of leaning on the one who should be there.

This project is built upon an accumulated emptiness: the emptiness left by definitive absences and the one created by incomplete presences. People who disappear, and people who, although they remain, become unreachable. Both forms erode quietly; both leave their mark.

The house, traditionally understood as a place of refuge, is transformed here into a space of emotional resonance. Not as protection, but as a container of the void.

Within this in-between space, a sense of uprootedness emerges, a rupture with oneself. Identity becomes fragile, dissolves, and reshapes itself. Sadness, anger, and disconnection do not appear here as isolated states, but as part of a silent process of transformation.
