Forced Lines
Taken from the language of drawing (positive/negative space, implied lines, forced perspective) to graphically and metaphorically represent the lines that
we cross voluntarily and involuntarily, and the political, social and economical spaces they place us in to. Using the architectural shape of the two former
World Trade Center towers in New York City, the drawings explore the implied or “forced” line between the two buildings and the positive/negative spaces
left through their absence.
