The Revolt of Form

“The Revolt of Form” is an ongoing project that I am further developing.

The project expands the two-dimensional drawing surface by combining pencil and charcoal drawings with three-dimensional paper forms. It challenges the boundaries between the two- and three-dimensional, exploring the potential of drawing.

Thematically, it reflects on the human position in encounters with limitations and resistance, examining how we negotiate different forms of freedom and constraint in everyday, social, and political contexts.

The works have a strong visual presence, and the manipulation of paper as a medium opens up space for new narratives about vulnerability and resilience. The drawings/paper are crumpled, compressed, and then drawn upon further, making the motifs seem to fight against or merge with the paper’s folds. Once a passive surface for drawing, the paper undergoes a transformation into a three-dimensional sculptural form, becoming an active element that generates resistance and imposes constraints.
