"Text Screens" is a series of works about the current situation with speech, with speech difficulties. We speak, but the words come out with difficulty, and here it is more important to pay attention to the spaces, the silence and the connection of these words. It is not difficult to notice that on paper each letter in the composition of words is separate, and only the distance between letters and words makes speech distinguishable. In the series of screens, it is important that the words are connected by loops, preventing speech from falling apart.

 

Not only the letters and their symbolic meaning in the composition of the word are important, but also the spaces between them: this is about reticence, about the difficulty of pronunciation, these silent interjections create the mood of speech. There is a lot of text in art, but these works are about the connection of words, here loops are more important than meaning. And so in the screen WEAKNESS the difficulty of reading produces that human condition that a person feels, being in a difficult state of powerlessness.
