Room 172

Room 172 explores life as a sequence of thresholds, where each “door” corresponds to a different experience, choice, or transition. A surreal visual language forms a psychological topography of movement and becoming.

The hand reaching toward the shoes introduces assistance and support, acknowledging vulnerability and the role of human connection within the journey.

The numbered red doors suggest multiple possible paths, where each passage carries a different experiential weight.

Ultimately, the work reflects on the balance between choice and support, and on becoming as a relational process rather than a solitary one.

Notes on the Work

This detail focuses on the door marked 172, which functions as a symbol of a decisive threshold in the journey of life. It is not merely a point of transition, but a moment of choice with the potential to alter one’s path and redefine personal development.

As a numbered threshold, it embodies the idea that certain passages are deeply personal and gain meaning only through the experience of the one who crosses them.
