walking series | 2021

This project is about discovering a part of the city which is completely unknown to me. I drew a map to orient myself and kept walking from a random chosen point to the other while observing the surrounding space with the focus on lights, shapes, smells, other individuals and my own impressions. Finding myself not much later alone in the darkness in this unknown neighborhood with people speaking unknown languages around me put me really out of my comfort zone. I finished this practice with a booklet filled with all my notes, images and drawings about this experience, which stands as an individual work called 'walking series'. 21 pages pen on different varieties of paper mixed media
