Second Skin

Natural earth on unstretched canvas, 70 × 120 × 20 cm

2026

This work explores the boundary between the body and the external environment. The focal point is the surface—a record of pressure, time, humidity, and contact.

Here, the canvas functions as a temporary layer, susceptible to external influences. The object’s form alludes to the logic of a wearable item: something that can be put on, taken off, carried away, or left hanging.

Natural earth serves as a medium of direct contact. It grants the surface weight, texture, and a literal connection to a place (topos). Through it, the environment is integrated into the fabric of the work, becoming part of a bodily memory. The suspended form heightens the sensation of a shed shell or discarded skin.

This piece is conceived as part of a larger project titled "Home."
