This work approaches perception as a problem of thresholds rather than of clarity, asking how the limits between what can be known, sensed, or shared are provisionally drawn and redrawn. Instead of treating internal states as pre-given content awaiting expression, it frames them as relational effects that emerge at the interface between what is disclosed and what is deliberately or necessarily withheld. The piece is less concerned with revealing an interior than with tracing the conditions under which something becomes legible as “inside” at all.
A provisional membrane is developed by repeatedly inflating and deflating a latex skin layered with liquid porcelain slip, allowing air pressure and viscosity to co-produce a fragile envelope rather than a predetermined form. Here, authorship is distributed: the artist’s calibrated interventions meet the unruly behaviour of expanding and collapsing volume, so that folds, pleats, and thicknesses register as indices of negotiated control rather than pure intention. In its final state, the object holds this history of modulation in suspension, occupying a zone where form is neither fully declarative nor entirely opaque—suggesting that subjectivity, too, is constituted in such intervals, where what remains indeterminate is not a lack of information but an active, structuring condition of relation.
