Don’t Split in the Well

Material: The work is constructed from small square modules made of wood and ceramic, forming a tactile pixel-like mosaic surface. Modern ceramic tile, historical Hugo Gehlin ceramics (c. 1948) Variations in tone, density and spacing emphasize the manual process of assembling fragmented elements into a coherent visual structure. Object: The composition presents a symbolic landscape divided by a vertical sequence of blue modular units that may evoke a path, a stream or a digital signal. Abstract organic forms resembling hills, vegetation or coded figures unfold on both sides, while a lighter linear element above suggests a sign, a direction or a suspended gesture within space. Concept: As part of the ongoing project “Pixel, Memory and Mosaic,” the work reflects on vulnerability, transition and the fragile balance between unity and separation. The idea of “not splitting in the well” can be understood as a poetic warning against fragmentation — of identity, memory or collective experience. Translating digital pixel logic into material presence, the artist explores how personal and cultural narratives are reconstructed from dispersed fragments, negotiating between displacement and continuity.
