This project explores the intersection of personal identity, space, and impermanence through a process of blind drawing. The act of drawing the height of my own body on a page without sight reflects the limitations and unpredictability of existence, embodying the precariousness of life. The image, though incomplete and uncertain, represents a constant myth — my physical form — but it’s subject to the absence of full control, just as life and its trajectory are.

The surrounding belongings within this space, as they relate to me, symbolize the constant fluctuations of influence, as our possessions, memories, and experiences become tethered to the environments they inhabit. As the space evolves over time, these objects are not static but are altered by forces beyond their own control, demonstrating how even the smallest changes can reverberate through the system.

Ultimately, aiming to reveal the impact of unseen forces shaping personal narratives and the spaces we occupy. The drawing becomes both an abstract self-portrait and a reflection of the broader systems at play, showing that our actions, however small or invisible, leave traces on the world.
