The protective construction mesh functions as a temporary boundary, a physical marker of repair, closure, and restriction. In this installation, monotonous embroidery reflecting the slow process of waiting for change and child-like drawings coexist; together they undermine the mesh’s authority, soften it, and turn it into a site of play and memory. At the same time, the mesh reflects transformation itself. There is nothing under repair in the work, only the mesh, a visible edge between the old and the new.
Created for the Borders exhibition at Sisters Room Gallery, Tbilisi.
