Certain emotional states are almost constantly present in my everyday life with varying intensities, working in the background like a constant climate. These emotions are mainly associated with objectless anxiety, guilt, and shame, which are difficult for me to detect due to their constant presence. The multisensory installation approaches the space of this inner, elusive world.
In the video related to the exhibition, the black ice piece melting from the warmth of the palm represents an association for me, symbolizing an escape from this inner microclimate.
