Cross(Spruce) 2023

Five isosceles crosses made of light spruce wood, each measuring 96 x 96 cm, hang in a line in the room. Their placement at exactly 140 cm is deliberately chosen. Their presence is clear and reduced, characterized by simple perfection reminiscent of Scandinavian design. They do not demand, they do not cry out and yet they are there. Those who approach them look downward, embraced by their arrangement. They do not stand against the viewer but allow them to be with the space. Like registration marks in print, they guide the gaze, leading it through the room and inviting contemplation.

The work follows a formalist premise, presenting a simple structure whose effect unfolds through the interplay of form, perception, and individual experience.

It appears as a reduced object in space, two lines intersecting at a right angle, shifting between image, object, and construction, and in its restraint allowing for multiple readings.
