Loft

Depth In the large closet upstairs, in grandmother's craft drawers, and in grandfather's workshops, the light of memories radiates from countless discoveries everywhere. During daytime sleep, toys whisper on the floor in the attic. And the sun, breaking through the branches of the calm apple trees, fills the entire room with it’s light dancing as if on tiptoe. The art exhibition “Presence” consists of 12 paintings. These are 12 closed rooms and 12 untold stories and the transience of life alternates with eternity in them. Rooms, kitchens, attics, farms, barns, workshops, sheds, and storerooms can become uninhabited places, where people stop living. However, when a casual visitor enters them, such places can still embody fabulous stories. The different things left in silence and dust bring the visitor closer to the unknown and witness the exceptional mystery of presence. To solve this mystery, a visitor becomes a director or a narrator. And suddenly, among folded, fluttering, fading objects over time, living images of people may appear. Perhaps these people once lived in these forgotten walls, or they have entered them from other memories and even from imagination. It is through the illumination of a disappearing place and through the gradual fading of things is such a place that one can experience the history of man's infinity. Light, like memory, pours into the room from the outside, revealing an elusive depth, and surrounds dust-covered rooms and objects. Light and memory preserve the presence of people eternally.
