The artwork takes the form of an oversized jacket/shirt: a sculptural structure built around a play of positive and negative forms, covered with protrusions that hold snail shells. Inside the shirt, there is the shape of a hand or rather, a glove – designed as a space for placing plants. The shirt

rests on a steel hanger resembling human lungs, and the entire piece is mounted on a hote luggage cart.

 

The artwork speaks about the desire for touch and the impossibility of fulfilling it. About amoment of suspension, when the body freezes and the gesture hangs between impulse and memory. It refers to uncomfortable situations that leave traces within the body. It is a story of absence and the marks it leaves behind – of clothes, imprints, and the skin’s surface. Of estrangement and disconnection, of moment when the body becomes a shell and touch turns.
