The capacity to endure—through resistance, through reinvention—wears thin as emptiness settles in. When the furniture is gone and the echoes grow louder than any voice, even resilience begins to unravel. The space, stripped of function, becomes a vessel of memory alone, its meaning no longer tied to use, but to what once was.
Yet the breath survives in these walls. It waits, quiet and patient, woven into the plaster and the paint, into the cracks time could not erase. It waits for the inevitable claw to come—to rip apart what remains. To set loose what was held within, not just dust and wood, but the invisible weight of memory.
The project looks at memory as a living organism, transforming it into mould, ever growing, like a silent echo. Routine loses its grasp and becomes abstract in a space with no function. The voice remembers and does not forget.
