CHF 700 Created as part of the artist’s graduation project in 2022 at ZHdK (Zurich University of the Arts) in Switzerland, the “Line Continues” drawings were originally part of a larger installation combining objects, sound, and space. Though now presented separately in the exhibtion Room for a View, they retain the project’s core concerns: fine lines circling voids, translating sculptural gestures into paper, and reflecting an omnipresent sense of emptiness, unease, and quiet loneliness.
