Threshold is an installation that resembles the interior of an apartment, although it is not one. Old wallpaper and everyday objects evoke the image of a home that exists more in memory than in reality. They do not refer to any particular place, yet they convey a sense of familiarity, intimacy, and safety.

Situated inside an office building, the installation introduces the atmosphere of a private interior—a space that can be glimpsed or observed from the outside. Set against the austere character of its surroundings, it creates a distinct contrast that invites a moment of reflection while simultaneously evoking a sense of being away from home. The experience of encountering something that is at once familiar and foreign can provoke discomfort and a longing for a place one no longer inhabits.

The objects presented are not faithful replicas of recognisable household items, but rather transformed counterparts—recognisable, yet subtly distorted. The manner in which they are altered refers to the mechanisms of memory, which preserves fragments, simplifies details, and fills in what is missing. As a result, the installation exists on the threshold between reality and personal recollection.

The title Threshold refers to a moment of transition between memory and the present, between a fading presence and a returning sense of longing, between home and its distant echo.
