“Circle as Space” is an installation made of circular forms, dealing with the perception of the human body in space through the fluid relation between its individual fragments. From the very beginning – even as a fetus in a womb – until the end of our life, we claim space through our growth and existence. According to the circumstances, we expand or contract the physical and the mental space we claim in a room.
