Blurring clear boundaries and the possibility of being „inbetween” these two phenomena allow me to view the world from various points of view. My Intention is to create „overlapping layers” which appear to ebb and flow between static and dynamic states. These overlapping conditions are equivocal, ambiguous and ephemeral in terms of the exact position of the boundary and the way which it is perceived. Composition between Japanese traditional texture (Linen mosquito net) and Japanese traditional twine which is called „Mizuhiki” creates a dynamic emotional illusion. The flickering light and shadow and the transience of shifting surfaces allude to the world of nature. In Japanese, the word „musubu” means to tie or bind, and when something is tied with the strong, thin, ceremonial two-tone twine made from Japanese paper fibers called „Mizuhiki”, it takes on a special meaning. To Japanese, tying something in this manner conveys warmth, affection and togetherness. My hope is to leverage this concept to create a moment which binds people, culture and time together in such a way that participants are brought into an calm and infinite space. 66
