Suburbs reflects on the condition of the periphery.
As Jean-François Lyotard suggested, the entrances to cities can be understood as the outskirts of postmodernity—zones that are constantly expanding, dissolving, and often overlooked. Spaces that blur into the background, or disappear from attention altogether.
This work approaches the idea of the periphery through the figure of the labyrinth. Not as a literal representation, but as a structural and symbolic device—one that carries both spatial complexity and conceptual tension.
Constructed through a labor-intensive process of sewing, the piece oscillates between the precision of technical drawing and the instability of an architectural structure that seems to float in a dense black field. A subtle chromatic shift moves from white at the centre toward red at the edges, reinforcing a movement from interior to exterior, from order to exposure.
The labyrinth here evokes both protection and confinement—fortress and prison at once.
