• Pigment marker on wall, PU sealant
• approx. 140 sqm

This is a hand-drawn design that starts at the top edge of the wall and traces it with a single line. Exactly repeating this line is physically impossible, so each subsequent line refers to the previous one, creating an illusionistic drawing – a trompe d'oeil reminiscent of a curtain.

In the context of school, a curtain symbolizes the anticipation of something new, movement, and energy. Each line relates to the others, representing spaces for communication and exchange. The sequential nature of the process—the step after the other—learning and responding, is inherent in the drawing.

Red is a passionate and energetic color, fitting for a place of communication and exchange.
