Gingiva/Saliva.

This work explores the moment of emergence through loss, when something new occupies the space left behind. The object forms at the boundary between the internal and the external, carrying traces of its past state. Its presence stands out among neighboring forms: alien but not conflicting, temporary, not yet fully integrated into the sequence. The gum becomes a living medium, gently guiding the shape, while saliva seems to freeze the moment, holding it at the point of formation. Rather than accompanying movement, it captures the image, making its presence palpable and almost eternal.

The image is quiet, almost sleepy, outwardly calm, yet carrying inner experiences and traces of the past. It is like an innocent newborn: delicate, tentative, and entirely new to the world it enters. It does not express emotions directly, there is no fear, pain, or panic. A sense of transition is felt: slow, almost imperceptible, yet inevitable. The form seeks harmony with neighboring elements, cautiously integrating while preserving its otherness. The combination of outward calm and inner memory creates a tense yet silent presence, simultaneously drawing in and withdrawing.

The work focuses on perception: how the new integrates with the old, how the form interacts with surrounding elements, how its presence preserves the memory of itself. In this quiet balance, movement and stillness, novelty and memory, internal life and external form intertwine, creating a meditative, almost sleepy visual experience. Gum and saliva become part of the image itself: a medium holding its breath, freezing the moment, emphasizing the delicate boundary between past and present.
