This representation can be seen as a drawing in the square, a drawing that is only a suggestion direction and movement. Urban planning can never be anything more than a proposal to the city's citizens, a guide to how places should be used. Same thing with my sculpture in the square. It is never completely finished, but will be created anew every time someone uses it. The work's title, Togetherness is taken from a smaller sculpture by Kurt Schwitters. For every bend in the sculpture, there is one that goes in a different direction. It is an ever-changing form. It is the residents who complete the work when they use the sculpture. Some may be resting, others playing or socializing. In my practice there is always an element of the social, my abstract works should not only exist as a closed form or aesthetic comment, it should also be a place for discoveries. The sculpture is made with a repetitive structure that is suddenly disrupted by new twists, which seem to go in different directions. It is a play on the idea of a drawing made with a single line, a seemingly spontaneously made telephone doodle in three-dimensional large format. The sculpture look very different depending on the angle from which it is viewed, sometimes it looks like a sentence written in writing style, written in a whole new language.
