In the work “Restraining Constructions”, the artist explores the invisible spaces that shape human existence — those we build within ourselves out of habits, fears, social masks, pain, and memory.

The video unfolds as a movement through the fluidity and sensuality of bodily and psychic touch. The camera observes people interacting with their inner selves through contact with one another, gradually losing the sense of boundary between themselves and the surrounding space. It is an attempt to capture the moment when the body becomes an extension of the environment that affects us, and the environment becomes an extension of the body.

“Restraining Constructions” is not only about what confines but also about what expands and gives form. It is through limitation that we acquire shape, and through resistance and the breaking of the old that movement is born. The work invites the viewer to reflect:
Where does freedom end?
Is it possible to feel beyond boundaries without losing oneself entirely?

A meditative observation of human fragility — of how space emerges within limitation, and how within space, a boundary takes form.
