This triptych is a reflection on walls and their multiple functions and associations: as supporting structure, as defensive shield, as organizing principle, as divider, as marker of boundaries, territories and ownership, as protector of privacy, as platform for urgent voices, as container for the unwanted, as obstacle to progress, as impasse, as barrier, as blind spot, as violence. Drawing on influences from early Renaissance paintings, the motif of the wall is used as architectural structure and allegorical device, to contemplate the complex relationship between walls and freedom, and to ask the question of how – or if – we can exist without walls; and how –or if – we can exist within them.
