Irene Hrafnan Bermudez
“The walls, too, have learned something. Perhaps it was never spoken aloud, but the idea of wall has entered the room, pressing itself into the material in a way that is both imperceptible and lasting. The edges of the walls soften, just a little, as though the word “wall” has altered their geometry. The space between the wall and the room feels more defined now. It's as if the walls, without anyone pressing on them, have started to lean a little, to settle a little more comfortably into their corners...".
