THREADS FROM THE CENTER

Large-scale installation

​

Threads from the Center is a large-scale installation exploring relational repair, reciprocity and ecological balance.

​

At its core stands a rotating structure — unstable yet intentional. Gold thread stretches outward from a central axis, forming a tense and fragile network. There is no fixed pattern, no perfect symmetry. The form emerges through repetition, tension and human gesture.

​

The work reflects on rupture — between humans and nature, inside and outside, individual and collective. It asks what it means to restore connection in a world marked by fragmentation.

​

The conceptual foundation of the installation is partly informed by the worldview of the Kogi community of Colombia, whose philosophy emphasizes reciprocity, responsibility and cosmic balance. Rather than appropriating symbolism, the work engages with these principles as an ethical orientation: repair as action, awareness as practice.

 

Material plays a central role.
Wood suggests grounding.
Steel introduces structural tension.
Gold thread becomes a metaphor for value — not as wealth, but as attention.

 

The spinning core functions as both axis and question:
Where does balance begin?
How does connection take shape?

The installation does not offer resolution.
 

It creates a space of suspended movement — where fragility and resilience coexist.

Between center and periphery, tension and harmony, the work proposes a simple gesture:
Reconnection starts from within.
