In my earlier works (Invisible Borders, Landing on the Soft Side, I Guess I Am Waiting in a Bad Way...) I started dealing with such human inner phenomena whose presence in our lives is often difficult to detect. To me, these unknown spaces within us are emotional imprints from the past, or ingrained thought structures that are so automatic in the course of our lives that they go almost unnoticed. These evasions are often the inner wounds or weights along which our destiny and personality evolves. It is along the heaviness of these inner burdens that we find ourselves in various states and situations, not only with ourselves but also with others. Examining these phenomena in my own life, I have come to question what this weight really is. These weights in human relationships are at once heavy, and at the same time beautiful owing to the strong emotional connections. To me, this awkwardness, this fragility, is most akin to a kind of poetry in human relationships.
