The aim of this thesis was to thoroughly immerse myself into the liminal space that lingers between
our initial thoughts and realised visions. The shadow, as it were, was the elusive subject I have chased
since my childhood. It is an experience, it is the multitude of experiences that make up a lifetime, my
driving force. In a literal sense, it is the darkness resulting from placing an agglomeration of matter in
the path of light. This is where the idea meets the reality, in the attempt to create these experiences, to
allow others to occupy this intermediate space in our minds by bringing it to life.
This piece of writing is an attempt to put into words the places and experiences that have shaped my
understanding of space. Some are merely fleeting memories, yet these fractions, these series of brief
experiences come to my mind with such blinding intensity that they momentarily disarm me. For a
brief instant I remember that such intensity of emotion exists, and there is nothing else but shadow,
light and silence.
