Fork in the Road

Two hands strategically place simple objects on a surface that promises multiple possibilities. Despite leading the way, the hands themselves don’t yet know where they’re going.

Through deliberate actions and their subsequent consequences, they create a dialectical interplay between decisive and non-decisive elements. This dynamic process evolves into an ordered arrangement of the formal game, revealing unexpected narrative qualities along the way.

While the hands initially serve a functional purpose, they transcend their utilitarian role and become actors within the scene. Their interaction with the objects creates an enigmatic cosmos imbued with a palpable atmosphere of tension, threat and irony.
